This choice manifests in particular attention paid to soil quality, biological diversity, and the minimization of chemical interventions.

Since the estate's beginnings, the COS winemakers have always focused on indigenous grape varieties such as Nero d'Avola and Frappato for their reds, and Grecanico for their whites. Each of their wines displays a complexity and depth of flavors that can only result from a profound understanding of the terroir and careful winemaking.
