Metiusco Rosé

From Greek: “I am inebriated”. 100% Negroamaro, saignée technique, cold maceration 10–30 hours. Multiple international award winner.

IGP Salento 100% Negroamaro Product of Italy • Contains sulphites

The name Metiusco comes from Greek and means “I am inebriated” — a promise this wine keeps. A single-variety rosé made from Salento Negroamaro, using the saignée technique: an ancient method that delivers structure, intensity and freshness in a single glass.

A rosé that has won over the juries of the most important international wine competitions. And that is no coincidence.

The technique

The saignée: what it is and why it matters

The winemaking of Metiusco Rosé follows a precise process that sets it apart from ordinary rosés:

1 — Destemming

The Negroamaro grapes are carefully destemmed to separate the berries from the stalks.

2 — Cold maceration 10–30 hours

The crushed grapes are kept at low temperatures to extract the maximum of aromas and aromatic compounds without excessive tannin extraction.

3 — The saignée: drawing off 30% of the must

The heart of the technique: 30% of the must is drawn off from the tank. This concentrates the remaining must (destined for the red wine) and gives the drawn-off must — the future Metiusco — a robust and balanced structure unusual for a rosé.

💡	The saignée is not a modern technique: it is a traditional method that concentrates quality and character in every bottle. The result is a rosé with the structure of a serious wine, not a beach wine.

At the table

What to pair it with

The robust structure and intense aromas of the Metiusco make it a genuine table rosé, not just an aperitif wine. It pairs with a wider range of dishes than you might expect.

🍝 Vegetable pasta dishes — pasta with seasonal vegetables, light risottos, legume soups

🦐 Fish and shellfish — fish stews, seafood soup, langoustines, grilled prawns

🍕 Pizza — the robust structure of Metiusco holds up well against complex toppings
