The Producer

About Manuel Formigo

Manuel Formigo’s vineyards in Beade, part of Galicia’s Ribeiro DO, are steeped in winemaking heritage, with claims that Ribeiro wine was among the first brought to America by Columbus in 1492. Managing six hectares across seven plots, Formigo cultivates local grape varieties such as Palomino, Loureira, Torrontés, and Caíño, with vines aged 20-40 years. His family's deep winemaking roots are evident in his recovery of nearly lost indigenous vines, including the oldest Treixadura vines in Miñoteria, planted in the late 1970s. Formigo’s philosophy focuses on environmental respect and producing wines that reflect the true essence of the grapes and their unique plots, resulting in elegant, aromatic, and balanced wines.
