The wine Fomo 1 is a very special Spanish red wine made by bodega Cap de Barbaria, the company that put the beautiful island of Formentera on the wine map. The name comes from the acronym FOMO, which stands for "Fear Of Missing Out."
This Crianza red wine from IGP Formentera is sourced from ungrafted Monastrell vines over 130 years old grown in sandy soils. The main variety is nuanced with a spark of Fogoneu, a native variety from the Balearic Islands.
The handpicked grapes were meticulously selected before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. After that, the red wine Fomo 1 2022 was transferred into French oak barrels, where it was aged for 10 months.
After bottling, this red wine from Formentera was cellared for some years before hitting the market.
Production below 1,000 bottles.
Decant some time before drinking.

Nose
This wine from Monastrell and Fogoneu is packed with aromas of forest berries, spice and tobacco, with a dash of liquorice, some citrus and flowers and a mineral and saline suggestion.
Palate
Structured and complex, with tightly-knit tannins, a steely acidity and the extra layer of depth typically conveyed by the ungrafted vines. This wine of bodega Cap de Barbaria has a very long finish with remembrances of flowers, balsam and some mineral undertones.
