Chef Shannon has been to over fifty countries, and meets all kinds of people along the way who often become lifelong friends. From them, she learns the history of their culture, the ingredients that are native to their cuisine, and the recipes they cherish and willingly share. COS wines tell the story of our ancestral lands, for over 3000 years, the Earth has had grape vines. This is an extraordinary gift that we have been given and that COS winery has received with humility and work with in their own way. This has enabled them to undertake a very difficult path but one that we are fully satisfied with and that they intend to pursue wholeheartedly. For the past 30 years, COS have been creating history and putting it into every glass of wine, their story, the story of our ancestral lands. Three friends founded Azienda Agricola COS, in 1980: Giambattista Cilia, Cirino Strano and Giusto Occhipinti. The acronym of their last names is where the name for the winery – COS – comes from.
