ITALY : SICILY Frappato LIGHT-MED-BODIED, RASPBERRY, FLORAL, ORANGE PEEL, SWEET SPICE, NO OAK Est. in 1980 by Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti and Cirino Strano, COS is one of the most important and influential natural wine producers of our time. This low-intervention Frappato (a native Sicilian varietal sometimes compared to Gamay or Cru Beaujolais) is easy-drinking, polished perfection — with layers of juicy black and red fruit, bright acidity, and soft tannins. Serve the Sicilian way, with a slight chill. SUSTAINABILITY : Certified Organic & Biodynamic PAIRING : Grilled Swordfish with Lemon and Oregano *Low Sulfite

The perfect summer wine. Lightly chilled like they do in Sicilian restos. Beautiful transparent color, highly mineral and salty, only 12.5 degrees.

Light color. Green apple and citrus (yes, for a red.). Light and fun, would be a great summer wine.

Beautifully expressive fruit. Would pair well with a wide range of food. Excellent with a chill.

Sampled this at a wine pairing dinner, and decided to try a whole bottle with a grilled pork tenderloin. Very nice.

Wine pairing dinner. Didn’t get as much as I would have liked. Nice with the salad.
