COS, Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico, 2022
COS is a winery in Vittoria, southeastern Sicily, founded in 1980 by Giambattista Cilia, Cirino Strano, and Giusto Occhipinti (the name derives from their initials). The estate was a pioneer of quality winemaking in this historically overlooked region and helped revive the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Sicily's only DOCG, a blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato. COS farms approximately 50 hectares, certified organic since 2007. Since 2000, they have fermented and aged wines in buried terracotta amphorae (giare), inspired by ancient Georgian qvevri traditions. The Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico is their benchmark wine: 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, co-fermented in amphora, aged further in large oak. A singular expression of Sicilian terroir.
