Azienda Agricola Cos Rami Bianco 2024

The winery was founded in 1980 by three friends, Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano. The initials of their last names form the winery’s name. For Giusto, “the vineyard is like our life’s savings in the bank, so we must protect it.” Protecting it means that they work organically and biodynamically to support the health of the soil. They have never used any synthetic or chemical additives in the vineyard since the outset in 1980.

The 2024 Rami' is a blend of 50% Grillo and 50% Insolia grown in the Vittoria region. Here there are red soils of medium consistency; made up of subalpine sands composed of limestone and silica. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in concrete tanks on the skins with indigenous yeast, with around 5-7 days of skin contact. The wine is then aged in concrete vats for eight months followed by three months in bottle before release. 

The COS Rami’ is pale straw-yellow color. It has great aromas of citrus fruit and hints of minerality on the nose. The wine has excellent depth of flavor and is well balanced with good acidity and a pleasant finish.
