COS was founded by three friends to make traditional wine with respect for the place the grapes are grown. During their first harvest in 1980, they were the youngest wine producers in Italy. The acronym of their three last names forms “COS.” They were early adopters to Biodynamic farming, starting a movement on the island, which are still golden standards. The friends are hard workers, using an old winery given to them by a family friend and opting to use terracotta vases for ageing, a completely neutral vessel. Sicily has just one DOCG—Cerasuolo di Vittoria; the friends were the first winery to bottle a DOCG wine in Sicily. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCOS is located in Vittoria, the farthest tip of southeastern Sicily. The area recalls that of Africa, with its climate and land of red, ochre, and yellow tones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThis is Nero d’Avola from vines 50 years in age grown in the red soil found in southern Sicily. The wine ages in Slavonian oak barrels and then further ageing happens in the bottle. This wine is only made when the vintages are at their best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293089456151,"sku":"Italian:IT202AAC014-21","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/COS_Contrada_2020_579b05cd-8932-492e-bcb1-0a29e80ded9d.jpg?v=1783960274","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/cos-contrada-2021","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
