Discover Azienda Agricola COS

Azienda Agricola COS is a pioneering winery located in Sicily, Italy, recognized for its innovative approach to natural winemaking and commitment to biodynamic practices. Founded by Giusto Occhipinti in the 1980s, the estate has become a benchmark for expressive, terroir driven wines, particularly from indigenous Sicilian varietals. The vineyards are planted on volcanic and calcareous soils in the hills around Vittoria, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with abundant sun and cooling sea breezes. COS emphasizes biodiversity, minimal intervention, and healthy soils, allowing the vineyards to produce grapes of exceptional quality and character. Specializing in varietals such as Nero d’Avola, Frappato, and Grecanico, COS follows a minimal intervention philosophy in the cellar. Natural fermentation with native yeasts, extended maceration on skins, and minimal sulphur use result in wines that are pure, textured, and expressive, highlighting both freshness and the unique Sicilian terroir. At Origine, we feature Azienda Agricola COS as part of our premium Italian selection, showcasing producers who combine innovation, sustainability, and authenticity. Each bottle reflects COS’s dedication to crafting wines that are distinctive, elegant, and deeply connected to their origin in Sicily.
