2021 COS Frappato

COS have championed the rare grape Frappato since the inception of this project in 1980 by owners Giusto Occhipinti and Titta Cilia. Seeing the potential of Frappato, they set about to make a wine with unique character, intense but extremely fresh and light on its feet. Hailing from Vittoria in Southeast Sicily, the Frappato is grown organically on sandy soils and fermented in concrete to retain the varietal freshness. 

Other Reviews....
Violet and rose tones give way to wild berries and hints of camphor as the 2021 Frappato blossoms in the glass. This is soft-textured, with medium-bodied weight complementing ripe red and blue berries that are further accentuated by lively acidity. A caking of minerality lingers, as it tapers off classically dry and perfumed. The balance here is simply stunning, as the 2021 comes across as fruit-centric, yet deep and characterful. Drink 2022-2026.
