- Named after the nearby city of Avola, it is this wine in which COS showcases their pioneering approach to this noble grape. Most Nero d’Avola is made into a rich, heavy, full-bodied style, but the Nero di Lupo (The Black Wolf) is a testament to the terroir and traditions of this area making a wine of finesse and elegance. Beautiful fresh dark fruits combine with underlying notes of leather, licorice, smoke, and the essence of violet. This is a wine that defies gravity and lifts you up with great balanced acidity and harmony.
