COS is one of the founding fathers of Italy’s natural wine movement—and a true icon in Sicily’s Vittoria region. Founded in the 1980s, the estate helped revive interest in Frappato and Nero d’Avola, while pioneering ancient winemaking methods like clay amphora aging. Pithos Rosso is their flagship expression of that philosophy.

The 2022 vintage is as vibrant and soulful as ever—50% Frappato, 50% Nero d’Avola, fermented with native yeasts and aged entirely in terracotta amphorae. The result is light on its feet but deeply expressive: sour cherry, wild herbs, and dried rose on the nose, with a silky palate and a whisper of earthy spice. There’s no oak, no filtration, and no makeup—just a transparent, energetic wine that speaks of place and tradition, reimagined.

This is red wine for Burgundy drinkers, for natural wine lovers, for people who want complexity without heaviness. Serve it cool, give it a gentle decant, and let it evolve in the glass.

Pair with: grilled eggplant, roast duck, mushroom pasta, or Sicilian caponata.

Left COS

If you had to pick a single producer responsible for the Sicilian renaissance, it would be COS. They were the first to show the world that Sicily's artisanal side is not just delicious, but worthy of the kind of attention nobody would ever pay to the island's mass-produced Nero d’Avola. They launched a revolution.

COS was founded by three men whose last names start with C, O and S. The "O" — Giusto Occhipinti (uncle of Arianna)— has been the driving force at the domaine, introducing organic and biodynamic techniques and obsessing over the correct vessels for elevage.

Giusto found the perfect farming and winemaking methods to express their unique Vittoria terroir. Soils in this part of Etna have a layer of red clay over a limestone substrate. With the reliable weather you have ideal conditions for producing consistently fresh and balanced wines. It’s no wonder that wine has been produced in this corner of Sicily for almost 3,000 years!
