This wine comes from young vines in the Bastonaca sector, in the southeastern part of the island, on the Vittoria plateau at 250 m above sea level in the province of Ragusa.
The limestone-type soils, with silica and clay, the warm, dry and well-ventilated climate, characterized by strong thermal amplitudes between day and night, give the wine elegance and minerality, as well as excellent acidity levels and degrees.
The Nero d'Avola grape variety is indigenous and present exclusively in Sicily. The estate has been working biodynamically for over 15 years.
Here's a wine I haven't tasted in a while. A pure expression of Nero d'Avola, aged simply in cement vats, the 2018 Nero di Lupo shows loads of varietal purity with summer dark cherry, tilled earth, fennel herb and that ever-present aroma that reminds me of Sicilian olive or caper. Like all the wines in the COS portfolio, this one shows extreme precision and fine focus. This vintage was not easy, with rain and cooler temperatures toward the end of the growing season, but this wolf still howls. Some 38,000 bottles were made.
