Tasting notes

The Cerasuolo di Vittoria Pithos is a deep ruby red with garnet highlights. On the nose are aromas of cherry, prunes and dried flowers. In the mouth it is full-bodied and well structured with flavors corresponding to the nose. It has a long and fresh finish.

Review

Our Italian Red wine buyer, Bart Hopkins Recommends: Azienda Agricola COS Pithos 2010 Sicilia.

"I like Wines that are unique. Wines that taste like the place they are from. Natural wines made with minimal manipulation. That's why i like the wines of COS."

"Made from a blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola grown and made using Organic and Biodynamic methods, fermented and aged in amphora with the least amount of sulfur possible, the 2010 Pithos is full of spicy, earthy, fruit filled pleasure! Bart Hopkins

Wine maker notes

School friends Giambattista Cilia (C), Giusto Occhipinti (O) and Pinuccia Strano (S) began making wine for pleasure and ended up creating a company that would become one of the most well-known in Sicilia. They rented their parents’ lands and began harvesting, pressing grapes, and making wine. They continue to operate with this independence of spirit, doing largely without an oenologist, basing winemaking decisions on their considerable experience and intuition. COS is a lifelong project of expressing the terroir, passion, and culture of this part of Sicily in its truest form.
