2019 Vintage COS Vittoria Rosso Sicilian DOCG Red Wine

Discover COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria: A Sicilian Red Wine Crafted with Passion

Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily, Italy, COS’s Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a masterclass in artisanal winemaking. This elegant red blend combines 60% Nero d’Avola’s bold structure with 40% Frappato di Vittoria’s bright acidity, creating a wine that balances rich berry flavors with refreshing lightness—a perfect choice for those seeking complexity without heaviness.

Grown on COS’s organic estate, the grapes thrive in unique red clay soils infused with subalpine sands rich in limestone and silica at 230 meters elevation. The vines, now 25 years old, yield fruit deeply influenced by Sicily’s terroir, resulting in layers of wild cherry, blackcurrant, and subtle mineral notes.

Traditional techniques define this wine’s character: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cool concrete vats preserves natural flavors, while 18 months in Slavonian oak botti adds nuanced spice without overpowering the fruit. An additional year of bottle aging ensures smooth integration of flavors—a testament to patience and craftsmanship.

Certified organic and biodynamic, COS prioritizes sustainability, reflecting a commitment to both quality and environmental stewardship. A unique detail? This 2019 vintage was declassified from its namesake appellation due to its lower 12.5% alcohol—a deliberate choice to honor authenticity over regulation, making it a rare find for lovers of honest, terroir-driven wines.

Pair it with hearty Sicilian dishes like roasted lamb or eggplant parmigiana, or savor it as a statement piece at your next dinner gathering. This limited-release gem offers an unforgettable taste of Sicily’s winemaking heritage—crafted for those who value tradition and transparency.
