History and Winemaking
“Metiusco” was Palamà’s first label (first vintage 1996). The Aleatico grapes come from **120-year-old Apulian bush vines** with a very low yield (20 q/ha). Harvesting is manual after **slight drying on the vine**. Fermentation continues until it reaches 15% vol; this is followed by one month of rest in steel and **long bottle aging**.
Organoleptic Profile
Appearance: Very deep ruby red
Nose: Intense and aromatic, with a prevalence of **blackberries, sour cherries, and figs**, and notes of cherry jam.
Palate: Sensual and persuasive. Perfectly **balanced** between the sweetness of the residual sugar and excellent acidity, which prevents it from being cloying.
Food Pairings
Perfect with: Traditional Salento dry pastries, artisanal Panettone, or **high-quality dark chocolate**.
Serving Temperature: 18-20°C
Recommended Glass: Passito or sweet wine glass
The nectar of Salento Aleatico – Perfect for concluding a meal or for a moment of pure indulgence.
