Metodo Classico'

Frappato, Sicily, Italy

Leap with us into an other-worldly taste of luxury. COS (Cilia-Occhipinti-Strano) was founded in 1980 by this v. impressive trio who sought to breathe life back into Sicily’s wine reputation. What began as a humble project became one of the world's most iconic wineries. COS has revolutionized quality production in Sicily and inspired the next generation beyond measure. Working in the cellar and vineyards without any additives since the mid 80s, as well as with organic & biodynamic practices since FOREVER. This rare, traditional method sparkling wine is 100% Frappato, one of our fave, light & fruit-driven red grapes regional to Southern Italy, often compared to Gamay, though it has a certain, floral breeziness that is unique unto itself. Primary fermentation in clay amphora with the second fermentation in bottle for tight, persistent bubbles. Wafting RIPE strawberries, rose hip tea, raspberries blossoms, rhubarb compote, chestnut crunch & a mineral spire. One of our favourite producers ever, period. Pour alongside nights a-resting or days a-laying, this one’s a thinker!
