Product Notes

COS Pithos Rosso DOC wine is an exquisite Sicilian red, brought to life using the organic, biodynamic method of amphora fermentation. A blend of mostly Nero d'Avola and Frappato grapes, it offers a unique, rich flavour profile brimming with cherry, raspberry, and a suggestion of aromatic herbs. A pronounced minerality and medium-bodied texture complements its underlying tannin structure. The wine is aged in terracotta amphorae, which gives it an earthly elegance and complexity. Hints of vanilla and spice on the palate complete this Italian masterpiece. Pithos Rosso DOC is an exceptional choice for any wine aficionado searching for natural, artisanal luxury.

Treading upon the ecological balance, COS Winery ably mirrors the Sicilian terroir and its wealth in their phenomenal wines. Apart from wine cultivation, they are strongly fervent about their role in nature's conservation. They take pride in their biomass energy system, in which residual materials from the grape harvest become a sustainable energy source for the winery.

The name COS represents the initials of its founders - Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano. Young visionaries who took the bold step to venture into the then untapped Sicilian viticulture.

The wines from COS emanate a distinct character embodying the careful selection of grape variety, diligent production method and a delicate ageing process.
