ABOUT THIS WINE:
Francis Ford Coppola
Sofia Rosé
Coppola is one of the most well-known names in movies and in wine, and this wine is named for France Ford Coppola’s daughter (and director in her own right) Sofia. It is definitely a refreshing and easy-sipping rosé. An elegant blend of Monterey County Syrah, Grenache, and Pinot Noir. It maintains a feminine and stylish profile with a fragrant perfume of wild strawberries, cardamom, and lemon peel; this rosé is lively and balanced with succulent flavors of tangerine and a hint of stony minerals. It also has a nice acidity that allows it to easily pair with all kinds of dishes.

WINE REGION:
Monterey County
Not to be confused with Monterey AVA, Monterey County is a larger designation that also includes the Carmel and San Antonio valleys, among others. Encompassing three distinct zones at the northern end of the Central Coast, Monterey County produces vast amounts of high-quality Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. For reds, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have often been replaced by Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache in recent years. These cooler-climate grapes achieve greatness through the influence of Monterey Bay, which pushes cold fogs and chilly afternoon winds down the Salinas Valley, tempering the sun's heat and allowing a long, moderate ripening season.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Francis Ford Coppola
FROM THE WINERY: Winemaking has been a Coppola family tradition for several generations. Agostino Coppola, Francis Coppola's grandfather, used to make wine in the basement of his New York apartment building using concrete vats he constructed himself. The wines that Francis Coppola makes today aren't the same as those Agostino made, but they are produced in the same spirit—for sharing with friends and family. Over 35 years ago, when Francis and Eleanor Coppola and their kids were living in San Francisco, the family began looking for a small cottage in Napa Valley that they could use as a weekend retreat where they could make a little homemade wine. The family cottage they found turned out to be the great Niebaum Mansion in Rutherford, on the famed Inglenook Estate. Suddenly, the prospect of restoring that legendary property sounded far more exciting than making a little bit of wine in the basement. Once they had successfully accomplished the estate's restoration—a 30-year endeavor—the Coppola family decided to build a new winery in Sonoma County so that at long last, they could create a home for their ever-popular Diamond Collection and Rosso & Bianco wine brands.
