Product Notes

COS Nero di Lupo is an elegant and sophisticated Sicilian red wine that is made from the Nero d'Avola grape variety. This exquisite wine boasts a deep ruby red color and offers a complex bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, and spice notes on the nose. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a rich, velvety texture and flavors of dark fruits, black pepper, and oak. This wine is aged for 12 months in large oak barrels and is unfiltered, allowing for a more natural and authentic taste. It pairs perfectly with beef, lamb, and game dishes and is an ideal choice for special occasions or intimate dinner parties.

About the Winery

The Sicilian wine brand of Cos Wines was launched in 1980 by three expert winemakers – Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti and Cirino Strano. The name, Cos, is the acronym of the first letters of their surnames. Every bottle of wine created by COS Wines is a true representation of the culture and tradition that the company stands for. Let’s take a look at 11 of their popular wines here:
