Grapes: 60% Nero d'Avola, 40% Frappato
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.
This is a combination of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato. The nose shows a hit of clay spice with cranberry, cherry, light earth, and some minerality. The palate is light to moderate in weight with minerals & clay giving way to cranberry and some cherry notes
