2018 COS Nero di Lupo

COS was founded in 1980 in the town of Vittoria, located in the south east of Sicily. Championing indigenous grape varietals since their inception, today they are one of the finest producers on the island. Nero di Lupo is 100% Nero d'Avola aged in neutral oak for 24 months, but unlike other producers this is a much lighter, fresher wine.

Here's a wine I haven't tasted in a while. A pure expression of Nero d'Avola, aged simply in cement vats, the 2018 Nero di Lupo shows loads of varietal purity with summer dark cherry, tilled earth, fennel herb and that ever-present aroma that reminds me of Sicilian olive or caper. Like all the wines in the COS portfolio, this one shows extreme precision and fine focus. This vintage was not easy, with rain and cooler temperatures toward the end of the growing season, but this wolf still howls. Some 38,000 bottles were made. Drink up to 2025.
