2022 COS Spumante Sicily

Sparkling wine produced by COS, a benchmark producer in Sicily's Vittoria appellation. Made entirely from Frappato grapes using the Metodo Classico method. COS employs biodynamic and organic viticulture practices in vineyards characterized by limestone substrates beneath 1-2 feet of red clay. Winemaking involves extended skin contact, aging in clay amphorae, large neutral botti, and concrete tanks, with minimal sulfur used only at bottling. This bottling spent one year in cement followed by 22 months of lees aging, resulting in complex, pure, and fresh wines that showcase the region's distinctive terroir.
