The estate was founded in 1980 by student friends Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano – the first letter of their surnames giving rise to the company's name. The estate is well known for its production of Sicilian wines from Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG and for its traditional and ancient winemaking practices. Azienda Agricola COS wines are made from biodynamically grown fruit using natural winemaking techniques. The wines contain extremely low sulphites and most are fermented and aged in terracotta amphorae dug into the earth. Wines not aged in amphora are aged in Slavonian oak or resin-lined concrete vats. The wines are bottled in squat bottles unique to the winery and based on an old bottle unearthed on the winery site. The winery produces wine from the island's only DOCG: Cerasuolo di Vittoria. This is made from a blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato. COS also produces varietal and blended wines from native Italian varieties including Zibibbo, Grecanico, and Inzolia. The winery also uses \"international\" varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, in their Maldafrica Terre Siciliane IGT offering. Pithos is Azienda Agricola COS's best known and most sought after wine. The IGT is a blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato that has been fermented by indigenous yeasts and aged in amphora. Cirino Strano left the enterprise in its early years to practice medicine. Giambattista Cilia and Giusto Occhipinti remain as winemakers. The latter should not be confused with his niece Arianna Occhipinti – a highly regarded, minimal intervention winemaker in her own right.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-30T14:04:23-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-27T13:17:32-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","LK2701","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Azienda Agricola COS","Region_Sicily","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Nero d'Avola"],"price":12999,"price_min":12999,"price_max":12999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42722538979466,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Azienda Agricola COS | Pithos Rosso","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":12999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/54_ef312928-2256-466d-99e8-157c4554ec11.jpg?v=1674843485"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/54_ef312928-2256-466d-99e8-157c4554ec11.jpg?v=1674843485","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Azienda Agricola COS | Pithos Rosso at CaskCartel.com","id":24076009275530,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/54_ef312928-2256-466d-99e8-157c4554ec11.jpg?v=1674843485"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/54_ef312928-2256-466d-99e8-157c4554ec11.jpg?v=1674843485","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Azienda Agricola COS | Pithos Rosso\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOS Pithos Rosso 2016 is a smooth red wine with aromas of red fruits and flowers, notes of herbs and undergrowth, and mineral touches.
