The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Pithos Bianco di COS is a nectar that gives you the feeling of balance with the universe. Its name is inspired by the Greek word Pithos, a terracotta jar with a characteristic shape. 100% Grecanico grapes are grown organically at approximately 250 meters above sea level, on soils of medium consistency: sub-Apennine calcareous sands, siliceous sands, and clay. The vines are located in the Fontane district in Vittoria, with vines averaging 12 years old. Harvest takes place in September and fermentation occurs spontaneously in terracotta amphorae, on the skins, with indigenous yeasts; aging is carried out in terracotta first and then in bottle.

To be tasted on its own, then paired with fresh goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, or with sea bass alla isolana.
