Descrizione

Francis Ford Coppola's Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a wine that embodies the Coppola family's excellence and passion for viticulture, expressed through their renowned winery in California. Hailing from the prestigious Sonoma Coast region, known for its cool climate influenced by the Pacific Ocean and ideal for growing Chardonnay, this wine reflects the unique characteristics of the terroir from which it comes.

The Sonoma Coast is famous for producing Chardonnay of great elegance and complexity, thanks to its particular climatic conditions which allow slow and uniform maturation of the grapes. This process emphasizes the aromatic freshness, minerality and acid structure of the wine, characteristics sought after by Chardonnay lovers.

Francis Ford Coppola's Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is vinified with the aim of preserving the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The wine could undergo a period of refinement in French oak barriques, which helps to enrich the aromatic profile with notes of vanilla, butter and sweet spices, perfectly balancing the freshness of the fruit with the complexity resulting from aging.

At sight, it presents a brilliant golden yellow color. On the nose, the wine offers an intense aromatic expression, with notes of green apple, pear, peach and citrus, enriched by nuances of white flowers, vanilla and a light toasting. In the mouth, Sonoma Coast Chardonnay reveals a rich palette of flavors that reflect the olfactory sensations, supported by fresh acidity and a soft creaminess that lead to a long and satisfying finish.

This Chardonnay is ideal for accompanying a wide range of dishes, from seafood cuisine, such as grilled shellfish and fish, to richer dishes based on chicken or pasta with creamy sauces. Its versatility and elegance make it perfect for special occasions or for an elegant meal with friends.

Winery history

The Geyserville estate originated as the former Chateau Souverain and, after several changes of ownership, was acquired by the Coppola family in 2006. In the following years the property was renovated and transformed into a visitor destination with a tasting room, the Coppola Movie Museum and the restaurant Rustic; the estate reopened with these new hospitality offerings around 2010. On the commercial side, in 2021 an agreement was announced in which Delicato Family Wines acquired the labels and certain assets related to the Francis Ford Coppola Winery brand.
