Cos Zibibbo in Pithos 2020 / 750 ml.

Item#: 57499

VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022
The 2020 Zibibbo in Pithos is perfumed and exotic in the glass, with layers of crystallized ginger, pungent yellow flowers, sun tea and blood orange forming its bouquet. This is soft, nearly glycerol in texture, coasting floral-laced young peach and mango across a core of saline-minerals. It leaves the palate dry, while also watering for more, but tapering off a bit shorter than anticipated. The Zibbibo in Pithos is refined completely in Amphora. While I really enjoy the uniqueness of the 2020, it lacks some of the energy of past vintages.

The 2019 Zibibbo in Pithos is exotic and wickedly fresh, as musky dried apricot and tangerine gives way to minty herbs and hints of wet concrete. It’s deeply textural, almost glycerol-like in feel, with masses of inner florals resonating over notes of ripe melon and hints of kiwi, all kept in check by brisk acidity. This is so incredibly fresh and lifted but also lightly structured, tapering off like taking that first bite of a perfectly ripe yellow apple. What a fun wine. The Zibibbo in Pithos is a dry Muscat of Alexandria (known on Etna as Zibibbo) that’s vinified in amphora.

Cos Rami 2021 / 750 ml.

2021 / 750 ml.

Item #: 57377

VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022
The 2021 Rami is a translucent amber color; it has a rich yet floral bouquet of raw almonds, peach skins and hints of chamomile. The 2021 envelopes the palate with silken textural orchard fruits while remaining perfumed and vibrant throughout. The finale is dry yet long and sapid, resonating on notes of young peach and a subtle yet bitter twang of gingery spice, all nicely offset by a hint of raw honey. In 2021, the Rami, a blend of 50% Grecanico and 50% Insolia, displays wonderful balance and verve, making it so easy to like.
