Description
METIUSCO Bianco IGP Salento – Vinicola Palamà: An unusual white wine that expresses the character of Grecìa Salentina (the inland area of Cutrofiano). The name “Metiùsco” in Griko means “I become intoxicated.” Produced with a blend of **Malvasia Bianca and Verdeca**, this wine acquires greater **body and concentration** thanks to a slight over-ripening of the grapes on the vines.

Story and Longevity
Metiùsco is a wine that celebrates the Grecìa Salentina and its ancient Griko dialect. The choice to leave the grapes to slightly over-ripen on the vine, while maintaining stainless steel aging, gives this Palamà white a more significant structure and the mineral, warm notes that distinguish it. It is best enjoyed young to appreciate its freshness, within **2-3 years**.
