This is a difficult wine to understand, with a very specific philosophy behind it. Light, elegant and ethereal, the 60-40 blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato is aged in terracotta amphorae in a studied attempt to present as pure a product as nature allows. It offers loads of bright fruit, wild berries, earth, spice and impressive complexity.

COS is a leader in Cerasuolo di Vittoria thanks to the strict organic and biodynamic philosophy applied to their production. This vintage shows bright berry, cola, dried herb, olive, tobacco and warm, earthy aromas. In the mouth, the wine is crisp, fresh and firm.
