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.
