The COS style: biodynamics, amphorae, and territorial identity

From the very beginning, COS has chosen a path different from conventional production. The winery has adopted the principles of biodynamic viticulture to promote the natural balance of the vineyard and to clearly bring out the character of the soils. This approach is reflected in the wines, which prioritize tension, expressive clarity, and authenticity.

A fundamental step in the history of COS is the introduction of terracotta amphorae, which arrived from Spain in 2000. From there, Pithos was born, a Cerasuolo di Vittoria fermented and aged entirely in amphorae, symbolizing a stylistic language that has made the winery immediately recognizable. The result is a deep, essential style that is never overloaded, placing the territory at the center.
