90 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$33 list] Violet and rose tones give way to wild berries and hints of camphor as the 2021 Frappato blossoms in the glass. This is soft-textured, with medium-bodied weight complementing ripe red and blue berries that are further accentuated by lively acidity. A caking of minerality lingers, as it tapers off classically dry and perfumed. The balance here is simply stunning, as the 2021 comes across as fruit-centric, yet deep and characterful. Drink: 2022-2026. (Jun 2022)"

COS was founded in 1980 by three friends, Giambattista (Titta) Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti and Cirino (Rino) Strano (COS is the acronym of their surnames.) They wanted to make wine like their Sicilian ancestors had from the area's main grapes, Frappato and Nero d'Avola. In time they converted their vineyards to biodynamic farming and changed the face of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria wines. The Frappato was aged in concrete vats after a spontaneous fermentation. It is an excellent juicy, dark-fruited red that should be enjoyed slightly chilled.
