Description

Metiusco Rosso

“Three harvests, three vinifications, one wine.”

The Salento blend par excellence: Malvasia Nera, Negroamaro and Primitivo in a single bottle. The most sought-after red of the Palamà winery.

Salento IGP 100% native blend Palamà, Cutrofiano

Metiusco Rosso is the most sought-after blend of the Palamà winery, even among the most demanding customers. It speaks 100% Salento: three native grapes from this strip of land nestled between two seas, vinified separately and then blended with precision.

The result is a wine of an intense ruby red colour, with aromas of forest berries, strawberry and plum, round and particularly pleasant on both palate and nose. After each sip, the red fruit gives way to notes of Mediterranean scrub, myrtle and cocoa.

The blend

Three native grapes, three characters in one glass

🌱 Malvasia Nera Robust structure and a natural sweetness that rounds out the blend.	⚫ Negroamaro The bitter note that balances the sweetness and gives character.
🍒 Primitivo Depth and aromatic richness: the complexity that makes the wine irresistible.	🍷 Metiusco Rosso Intense ruby red, velvety and round, fruity and elegant, with a balanced structure.

💡

Each grape makes its own specific contribution: that is why each one is harvested and vinified separately, and then the three wines are blended, to achieve something none of the three could deliver alone. This is not a shortcut: it is the right way to respect the character of each grape and produce a truly balanced blend.

At the table

What to pair it with

The softness and aromatic complexity of Metiusco Rosso make it versatile for both formal dinners and more relaxed evenings. It always surprises.

· 🍖 Meat main courses — roasts, lamb, pork, game in not-too-heavy preparations

· 🧀 Aged cheeses — pecorino, canestrato pugliese, hard cheeses

· 🍝 Puglian cuisine — pasta with ragù, bombette, gnomerieddi, traditional country dishes

🍶	Serving tip: the velvety, round character of Metiusco Rosso comes through best when served slightly cooler than a traditional red — around 16–18 °C. Uncork 20–30 minutes before serving.

The producer

Casa Vinicola Palamà — Cutrofiano, since 1936

Casa Vinicola Palamà has been based in Cutrofiano, in the Salento, since 1936. Its wines come from native Salento grapes — Negroamaro, Primitivo, Verdeca and Malvasia Nera — trained on espaliers or as bush vines, and vinified as single varieties or blends in the historic winery on Via Armando Diaz.

Ninì and the family personally look after the vineyards, the harvest and the winemaking. A direct, hands-on care that the international press and wine guides have recognised for decades.

🍷	From the same Palamà Metiusco range you will also find the Metiusco white and the Metiusco rosé.
