Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir Rose California 2021 750 ML

Diamond Collection Rosé is light in character and elegant on the palate. Pleasant summer fruits are beautifully balanced by crisp, natural acidity achieved by harvesting at a lower Brix. Minimal skin contact at pressing provides the delicate hue. To preserve the wine’s bright flavors and lifted aromatics, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks.\n \n Producer Information\n The Francis Ford Coppola Winery is a Californian wine producer in Sonoma County. Founded by the eponymous filmmaker, famous for directing The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now, the business was sold in 2021 to Delicato Family Wines. The winery had the highest production among the varied Coppola wine estates and produced the group's value brands. It was created decades later to separate the different brands the Neibaum-Coppola estate had cultivated. Wanting to distinguish the Rubicon label (which at the time accounted for only around 5000 of the estate's 268,000 annual case production), Neibaum-Coppola changed its name to Rubicon (now Inglenook Winery after another name change in 2011) and moved the production of its other wines, including the Diamond Collection, to Sonoma, establishing the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. The Francis Ford Coppola Winery was built as a fairly lavish attraction among Sonoma wineries. It has multiple tasting bars, tours, two restaurants, a swimming pool, a movie gallery, performing arts pavilion and a park with bocce courts. Much of the film memorabilia which had drawn large crowds to the Inglenook estate has been relocated to the Francis Ford Coppola Winery to maintain the focus of Inglenook as a fine wine producer. Just north of the Francis Ford Coppola Winery is the Francis Ford Coppola Winery Too! of which was established to showcase the entire portfolio of wines from the Coppola Family holdings. This establishment is the home of the Virginia Dare label. In the 2021 sale, Coppola retained Inglenook winery and vineyard (where Francis and his wife Eleanor live) and Domaine de Broglie in Oregon.
