Cos Contrada 2020 Sicilia Nero d'Avola IGT

A Sicilian red wine made from Nero d'Avola by COS, bottled as a Sicilia IGT. It matures for two years in oak barrels, then about six months in cement vats and a further year in bottle. The long maturation gives a wine of rare Mediterranean breadth. It is bright ruby in colour, with small red fruits, dried violet, brine and thyme on the nose. The palate is fresh, fine and well balanced, ending firm and persistent with pomegranate. It suits rich, complex meat dishes, including roasts and pork.
