Great color. Cool varietal. Excessive Brettiness upon opening that aired out over night, but other than that... great notes of burnt orange and honey. The palate was creamy with very balanced tannins. This is the only other orange wine that has reminded me a lot of La Stoppa’s Ageno, which is one of my all time favorites. — 8 years ago

Smokey and complex. This is the epitome of nero d'avolo. This was my introduction to the COS Winery and I think it was a perfect one. — 9 years ago

Not filtered, wild yeast, no temp. control... All the things that make a wine unique - and it shows here with some wild acidity. There is a pleasant sourness here with some cranberry and strawberry balsamic note and then that crazy, sour tannin structure. — 11 years ago

Occhipinti triumphs again with a way-better-than-it-should-be-at-this-price killer Nero d'avola. — 12 years ago

Raspberry, black cherry intertwined with bright floral and intense mineral notes are found in the nose. The wine has great texture with fine grained fruit based tannins. Flavors of red raspberry and plum on the palate with a s stoney, earthy accent. Great length to the mineral driven bright finish. — 9 years ago

Before James Suckling and The term "Super Tuscan" there was a producer making blends with French grapes for more than 300 years....this is a wine that will confound the haters, and hopefully reeducate them. — 11 years ago

It was as if Jesus Christ himself reached down into the soil on the slopes of Mt. Etna, stirred it around with his finger, and drew this out. Herbaceous, earthy, medium bodied, long finish, the tannic experience a great wine should have. — 11 years ago

Très réduit à l'ouverture, il a gagné en ampleur depuis deux jours... Un vin du sud à mon goût, avec une fraîcheur exemplaire! — 12 years ago

Wow. Love this Sardinian. The front is big and salty. My favorite with big flavored food. I have not decided on the end yet. This went down with an awesome grilled pork loin seasoned in prunes and Dijon mustard. Side was a very flavorful split pea and onion mash. — 10 years ago

From two old vine sites in Vertus, this has been one of my favorites for more than a decade. The vintage, 2009 is on the back label. It is fermented in large, old wood. While this wine has no dosage it has the ripeness to achieve balance. A big Chassagne mouthfeel and a long chalky finish! — 12 years ago
