Cos Pithos Rosso 2022 is an intriguing red wine from Sicily, crafted with a blend of indigenous grape varieties, primarily Nero d`Avola, and utilizing biodynamic practices. This wine undergoes fermentation in amphorae, which contributes to its unique character. The wine showcases bright acidity, with earthy notes complemented by flavors of dark cherries and a hint of spice. The tannins present are well-structured, providing a solid backbone to the wine.
On the palate, Pithos Rosso reveals layers of complexity, reflecting the volcanic soils of the region. The finish is moderately long, with a subtle minerality that underscores its origins. The wine is unfiltered and produced with minimal intervention, aligning with Cos`s commitment to sustainability. Enjoyable now, it also has the potential for further development with some aging in the bottle.

The 2022 Rosso Pithos wafts up with a pretty blend of rose petal, sage and dried strawberry. Light bodied and juicy in character, it washes across the palate with saline-infused red berry fruit and a tinge of sour citrus. The 2023 finishes fresh and with medium length, leaving the slightest hint of licorice to linger. The Rosso Pithos finished at just 10.5% alcohol in 2023 due to an attack of the Cicalina fly, which feasts on the leaves of the plant and halts sugar production. While this is not as deep and powerful as expected, it is a pleasure to drink. — Eric Guido, 1st July 2025
