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 []\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis Grecanico comes from the single estate vineyard of Fontane. This vintage spends over one month on its skins in traditional amphora clay pots used in ancient Mediterranean winemaking. We recommend this wine at a slightly warmer temperature than often recommended for white wine, as it drinks more like a light red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32934511378455,"sku":"Italian:IT201AAC001-23","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/products\/COS_PithosBianco-01.jpg?v=1650396570","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/cos-pithos-bianco-2023","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
