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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"Depths of black raspberry mingle with licorice and grilled herbs as the 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico opens in the glass. Pleasantly sweet up front, it splashes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruit and a cascade of spice, all propelled by juicy acidity. The finish is crisp and lightly tannic, with a bitter tinge that calls the taster back for more. The 2022 aims to please." -Eric Guido

Robert Parker

RP 92
"A blend of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, the organic COS 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico sees cement only to achieve a silky, mid-weight texture. Kicked off with a spontaneous fermentation, it reveals fresh aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, almond, wild herb and crushed stone. The vineyards are characterized by sandy limestone soils that are unique to this part of Sicily." -Monica Larner
