You already know my weaknesses for Sicilian grapes and
Cos is one of my strong and compelling points. This is 60 parts of Nero d'Avola, aged in oak barrels, and
40 parts Frappato, which makes vitrified cement, for an aging ranging from 18 to
24 months.
Beautiful ruby, a long and pleasantly nose, overwhelmed
by a lot of black pepper, which will mark, constantly, the olfactory and gustatory
development. This strong spiced presence, however, does not brake the
rise of the other performers, that fit with harmony, and contribute to enrich the
aromatic kit.
Very clean and noticeable the fruity sensations - pomegranate,
grapefruit and red orange - blending with violet, oregano and impetuous gusts
of minerality sea.
The taste, balanced and complex, is brilliantly in line with
the olfactory performance. The black pepper is confirmed protagonist with the fruity
tones - a fleshy cherry adds to citrus. The freshness is always in vogue, for
an irresistible drinkability.
Excellent persistence, it shuts down, leaving a marine mouth,
savory, licorice and especially greedy gulps, unfortunately extinct indeed too
fast.
A drink of lustful and carnal sicilianity.
