2025 COS Rosa di Lupo Rosato

100% Nero d'Avola rosato from COS, one of Sicily's pioneering producers championing organic farming, native yeast fermentations, and low-intervention winemaking. Made by benchmark Sicilian winemaker Giusto Occhipinti, the wine undergoes a few hours of skin contact in the press, resulting in a deep pink, almost magenta color, followed by 7 months of aging in concrete tank. Part of the COS portfolio known for elegance and purity in winemaking, this rosato displays Mediterranean character with herbal notes and a saline edge. COS was founded in 1980 in Sicily's Vittoria zone by three friends whose surnames form the estate's name. The winery became a benchmark for authentic, terroir-driven Sicilian wines and remains a pioneer in organic and biodynamic viticulture.
