Tasting Notes: The Cos Frappato is an organic, naturally made red from the Sicilian Frappato grape. The brightness of fruit, combined with the acidity present in Frappato, make this the perfect wine to chill slightly, just like they do in Sicilia. Perfect with swordfish or pizza night, this is a great warm-weather red.
Estate History: Azienda Agricola COS was founded in 1980 by Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti and Cirino Strano. These three old school friends started out making wines for pleasure and ended up transforming the future of Sicilian wine. COS is an acronym of their partnership. The company follows the principles of biodynamic viticulture to find balance with nature and help wine express the character of its soils. The partners were among the first to start experimenting with clay amphorae, neutral vessels that do not add any characteristic flavor to the resulting wines. The first jars came from Spain for the 2000 harvest.
