Tasting notes

This is one of the most interesting wines to come from the Vittoria area of Sicily. The Frappato is tonic and sharp, linear and direct. This wine reveals more depth and nuances than you might expect. It always renders a naked, authentic and transparent expression. The winemakers at COS have added their own little tweaks with touches of balsam herb and bitter almond that appear randomly along the way. This wine is only aged in cement, no oak is used.

About this wine

Cos is a winery located in the southeastern region of Sicily, Italy. Founded in 1980 by three friends who shared a passion for wine and a desire to produce high-quality wines that reflected the unique terroir of their region, Cos has become a leader in the winemaking industry. Giusto Occhipinti, one of the founders of Cos, is the winemaker and driving force behind the winery's success. He is known for his innovative approach to winemaking, which involves using traditional methods and indigenous grape varieties to produce wines that are both authentic and modern.

One of the wines that Cos is best known for is their Frappato. This red wine is made from the Frappato grape, which is native to Sicily. The grape is known for its delicate aromas of red fruit and flowers, as well as its light body and refreshing acidity. To produce their Frappato, Cos uses a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in large oak barrels for several months before being bottled.

The result is a wine that is elegant and refined, with a bright ruby color and aromas of red berries, violets, and spices. On the palate, the wine is light and fresh, with flavors of red fruit and a hint of minerality. The wine is best served slightly chilled and pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, pasta dishes, and pizza.

Overall, Cos is a winery that is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of their region. Their Frappato is a shining example of their commitment to excellence, and is sure to be a hit with wine lovers around the world.
