Producer Information

Azienda Agricola COS is a wine producer located on the Italian island of Sicily, near Vittoria, in the historic province of Ragusa. 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.
