Azienda Agricola COS Nero di Lupo 2015
Sicily, ItalyCOS is a joint project between three friends, the initials of which make up this iconic naturalist winery's name. Their dedication to Sicily, and their inherited bush vines around the city of Vittoria, province of Ragusa, enabled them to make the first ever DOCG wine of Sicily. Nero di Lupo is 100 percent nero d'avola, grown at 230m on the red soiled, limestone laced soils. Native fermented on skins in concrete, this is liquorice lashed black plum, wild blackberry, thorns, truffle, oregano, streaming through a surprisingly light-bodied, gentle palate, lined with iron. There's a very salty snap uprighting the soft tannins, bourne of the soils and formed through the time in concrete. Sweet spices close out the haunting finish. Authenticity rules all; this is a real wine of place and time.Tasted: 10 April 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $48.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
