COS ★ 4.9
Vittoria, Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG · SP3 Acate-Chiaramonte km 14,300, 97019 Vittoria, Ragusa, Italy
COS (Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti) has farmed biodynamically and organically since the 1990s-2000s. ICEA organic certified. Their amphora (pithos) fermentation and biodynamic field preparations are among the most documented in Italian natural wine. The Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG is the benchmark biodynamic-influenced wine in Sicily.
Tip: COS does not publicise cellar appointments widely; contact via the estate email for visits. The Frappato and Pithos Rosso lines show the biodynamic farming most clearly in their aromatic lift.
