Giusto Occhipinti, the visionary genius behind COS, has cemented his place as one of the most influential and significant producers, not only in Sicily’s Vittoria appellation, but throughout Italy as a whole. In 1980, Giusto, along with his friends Giambattista Cilia and Cirino Strano, founded the winery, with the initials of their last names forming the evocative name of COS.

Renowned worldwide for their Pithos wines, which undergo ageing in unlined terracotta amphorae, COS is an organic producer deeply committed to biodynamic principles and minimal intervention winemaking. Their unwavering dedication to ancient winemaking techniques shines through in these remarkable wines, showcasing the purest expression of their unique terroir.
