History and Winemaking

Metiusco is the flagship wine of Vinicola Palamà. This Anniversario label is a tribute to the line’s 25 years. Grapes are manually harvested in the third week of September. After crushing and destemming, a long maceration of 20-25 days follows at a controlled temperature. Aging is split: **50% of the wine matures for 9 months in second and third-use barriques**, while the rest ages in stainless steel. It finishes with a 3-4 month rest in the bottle.

Organoleptic Profile

Nose: Broad notes of **ripe cherry**, **Mediterranean herbs**, and **spices**.
