COS, Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico

2017 - 60% Nero d'Avola, 40% Frappato This is silky and pliant in feel, offering ripe red and blue fruits accentuated by sweet spices, as juicy acidity maintains vibrancy. Salty minerals and inner violet florals come forward through the close, along with nuanced tannins that create a classically dry sensation on the elegant finish. Hand-harvested. Vines average 25 years of age. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete tanks on the skins with indigenous yeast. Aged in Slavonian oak botti for eighteen months followed by one year in the bottle before release.
