Description

🍷

Metiusco Bianco

“Metiusco, from the Greek: I am inebriated.”

A blend of Verdeca and Malvasia Bianca, aged in tank. The flagship white of the Palamà winery.

Salento IGP Verdeca • Malvasia Bianca Palamà, Cutrofiano

Metiusco Bianco is the flagship white of the Palamà winery — the “older brother” of the Albarossa and the Ninì Palamà. A blend of two native Salento grapes, where Verdeca brings freshness and Malvasia Bianca, harvested slightly overripe, gives structure and body.

Deep straw yellow in colour, fruity and intense on the nose, fresh and dry on the palate. Perfect as an aperitif or at the table with fish.

Three Metiusco bottles by Palamà, white, red and rosé, with cork stoppers and red sealing wax

The blend

Two grapes, one perfect balance

🌿

Verdeca

A native Salento grape with a fresh, savoury character. It gives the blend liveliness, acidity and the minerality typical of Salento whites.

🍇

Malvasia Bianca

Harvested slightly overripe to enhance its structure. It brings body, depth and the intense fruity aroma that sets Metiusco apart.

💡

Pairing Verdeca with Malvasia Bianca is no accident: each grape brings what the other lacks. And harvesting the Malvasia Bianca overripe is a deliberate choice: more concentrated sugars and aromas, more structure in the finished wine. This is the step that sets Metiusco apart from more ordinary Salento whites.

At the table

What to pair it with

Metiusco Bianco has more structure than a light white: it stands up to elaborate dishes and is not overwhelmed by the bold flavours of the sea.

· 🐟 Fish — baked sea bass, sea bream, tuna carpaccio

· 🦐 Shellfish and seafood — steamed shellfish, prawns, langoustines, lobster, mussels and clams in simple preparations

· 🥂 Aperitif — on its own or with savoury nibbles, fresh cheeses, smoked salmon canapés

🍶	Serving tip: serve between 12 and 14 °C. At this temperature all the aromatic notes of the blend come through, without the cold flattening the aromas.

Awards

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 red and the Metiusco rosé.
