2016 COS Pithos Bianco

Description

2016 COS Pithos Bianco

This intense orange wine takes its name, “Pithos”, from the Greek word for the clay amphorae that are used to ferment and age this wine. After pressing, the Grecanico grapes spent a month macerating on the skins. Made from the Garganega grape, which is known as Grecanico in Sicily.

Critical Acclaim

93 Wine Advocate

Packaged in a short, squat bottle, the 2016 Pithos Bianco flaunts its golden-copper color and its proudly oxidative style. The wine offers aromas of candied orange peel, almond, yellow rose and even a touch of smoky cedar or church incense. The wine is dry and slightly astringent in terms of mouthfeel. It is made with Grecanico grapes that see extended skin maceration times.
