Staff Pick Notes

We all owe it to COS to pick up a bottle of their wine. Without the work of the 3 friends who founded the winery, you would have half the variety and quality in this section. They harvested their first vintage in 1980 with the simple ambition of restoring quality to Sicilian winemaking.

Other winemakers followed suit and now Sicily is heralded as one of the great natural wine regions. COS’ Frappato has a predominant character of ripe, juicy red berries. Along with that you’ll find subtle notes of herbs and tea leaves. The tannins are tiny, so serve this at around 50 degrees. I loved it with my salad of smoked duck breast, greens, and sherry vinaigrette.
