Product Notes

COS Pithos Bianco DOC is a captivating organic Italian white wine. Produced in Sicily's Vittoria region, the wine is an exquisite blend of Grecanico Dorato grapes. The distinctive trait of this wine is its vinification and ageing in terracotta amphorae, which imparts a unique character. Aromatically inviting, it charms the senses with notes of dried herbs, white fruits, and seawater. The palate gets entangled in a fine balance of mineral richness and citric acidity. Enjoyably complex yet elegantly fresh, the COS Pithos Bianco certainly challenges conventional wine norms, delivering an exceptional wine experience.
