Product Notes

COS Frappato IGP is a red wine produced by COS, an Italian winery located in Sicily. This wine is made with 100% Frappato grapes, which is a rare native grape variety found in the southeast region of the island of Sicily.

The Frappato grapes are grown organically and harvested by hand, which ensures the highest quality grapes for the wine. This wine has a unique character and quality that makes it stand out from other red wines and is a must-try for wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Cos Frappato, vibrant, strawberry, clean and juicy, Natural Sicilian red wine. Frappato has a warm ruby colour, not especially dense but bright and truly red, without blue or purple tones, even though it is still a young wine. The aromas are charming: fragrant wild strawberries and hint of candied orange peel and light spice, maybe cinnamon. The polished texture is silky but definite, with a fine balance of clear fruit and structure (tannins and acidity) to give it depth and length.. It is unoaked, complex and layered, juicy but not simple.
