COS is the benchmark producer in the Vittoria region and among the most highly regarded in all of Sicily. Comprised of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, the Cerasuolo di Vittoria bottling is arguably the top cuvée from this estate and as such sees longer aging time in barrel and bottle.
From a single vineyard with 30+ year old vines."
