A fascinating red wine from Sicily, from one of the leaders in the natural wine movement. Here's what Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has to say about it: "This wine is famously aged in clay amphora that are buried underground to keep temperature and moisture levels intact. COS was one of the first estates in Sicily to use amphora for aging and refining its wines. It started a trend that has gained much popularity today." Pair with beef or venison.

"Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a red wine made from a blend of Frappato and Nero D’Avola in accordance with the governing rules of the D.O.C.G. The wine is made in a large area in the province of Ragusa and in part of the provinces of both Caltanissetta and Catania, ancient areas where viticulture has long thrived as is evident from documents dating back to the Third Century B.C. Cerasuolo di Vittoria as a type of wine dates back to the founding of the city of Vittoria, in 1607. Vittoria Colonna Henriquez-Cabrera who founded the city that year gave, as a gift, one hectare of land to the first 75 colonials who would grow vines on another hectare of land. The area received Denominazione d’Origine Controllata (D.O.C.) status in 1974, and D.O.C.G status in 2005, the only one in Sicily. At the COS winery, we have been working with Cerasuolo for 30 years and for we are very proud of this tradition. We always believed that this was going to be a great wine and the designation of it as a D.O.C.G. in 2005 confirmed that. We were so convinced that this was going to be a great wine that we pushed the limits of making it as cleanly as possible with ageing in barrels and without any chemical interventions of any kind."

"I grew up in a winemaker family and while working in the wine industry I also studied intensively the world of wine. It made me realize the big difference between the wines close to nature and the ones which are influenced by the industry. I want to make special wines which have personality and identity, delicate wines with character influenced by their origin and heritage with traditional grape varieties which translate the sense of place," says Peter Wetzer. As for the wine? The grapes are Kekfrankos, sometimes called Blaufrankisch in other parts of the world, including Canada. This red wine is organic, biodynamic, and will likely appeal to fans of Pinot Noir. It is unfined and unfiltered, and contains no added sulphur. A fascinating red that changes constantly in the glass."
