Rupestris Metallica is native to North America the home of Phylloxera. As it turns out Metallica is not “The Master of Rootstocks” and it was not to be the “Hero of the day”, it was infact a “King Nothing” or a “Disposable Hero” in the search for rootstocks to suit vitis vinifera. 140 Rugggeri was preferred over MetallicA in the early 1900’s @metallicA @papa_het_ @larsulrich @kirkhammett #ridetherootstock #wine #viticulture #metal #vineyard
