Today COS is run by Cilia and Occhipinti with biodynamic and natural principles, and with both modern and traditional Sicilian-winemaking (amphora etc.). The grapes are hand harvested from biodynamic vineyards located around Vittoria (South-East Sicily) in 230 MAMSL. Spontaneous fermentation on the skins in concrete tanks, and aging in concrete tanks for 12 months to preserve the fruit-driven profile. Only a tiny amount of sulphur is added, itโs vegan, unfiltered and unfined. Grenade red and fully transparent. The bouquet is somehow super light yet quite intense offering dried cranberry, sugared redcurrant, rooibos tea, orange oil, dried blood orange peel, green olives and a scent of Cola. Itโs a little perfumed reminding me of a floral day cream. The palate is ultra light, almost water-like, but still with some depth with a lovely prickling acidity and super mild tannins. Super juicy! I get some redcurrant juice, raspberry sorbet, raw liquorice and menthol. Itโs pretty mineral but in general very primary fruit-driven.
