Metiusco Anniversario 2024 is a distinctive and elegant red wine from Salento, in southern Puglia. This special cuvée was created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Metiusco range and is made exclusively from Negroamaro, one of the region’s most emblematic grape varieties.

The grapes are harvested slightly overripe to enhance concentration and structure while preserving freshness. The wine is aged partly in concrete tanks and partly in used French oak barriques, allowing the fruit to retain its expressive character.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-red colour. The rich and complex bouquet reveals aromas of ripe black cherries, plums and figs, complemented by Mediterranean herbs, liquorice and subtle hints of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and enveloping, with ripe, beautifully integrated tannins and lively freshness providing excellent balance. The long, intense finish displays a refined, pleasantly bitter note, so characteristic of Negroamaro.

A powerful yet harmonious wine with excellent ageing potential. A wonderful match for grilled red meats, lamb, game, roasted vegetables and mature cheeses.
