3.80 / 5.0750 ml@101 Bar

Typical young Frappato from Vittoria. Red berries, blood, hibiscus tea, and clay. Not the simplest wine in the wild, but it lacks balance. At least its fresh and medium-light body acts as a fine start to the weekend.

COS

Azienda Agricola COS was founded in 1980 by three friends: Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano. The name is just an acronym of their family names (in case you didn't notice). The trio is known for the transformation of Cerasuolo di Vittoria wine from DOC to DOCG level (the only one on the island), as their 2005 release was the first to bear the new designation.

COS started its adventure with biodynamic farming and neutral terracotta vases. In 2007 (after moving to a new location), they decided to get rid of all their oak barrels in favour of 150 huge amphoras.
