COS Frappato '22

Giusto Occhipinti of COS is a benchmark producer in the Vittoria appellation of Sicily, and certainly one of the most important, influential, producers in all of Sicily if not Italy as a whole. The winery was founded in 1980 by three friends, Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano. The initials of their last names form the winery’s name.

Frappato from the Vittoria area of the island that was aged in concrete vats after a spontaneous fermentation. The fruit is dark yet accessible and makes for a great red wine to drink with a slight chill.
