DESCRIPTION
Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Zinfandel 2021 is sourced from a selection of the best Californian terroirs for this Zinfandel from the Director's Cut range, produced in a more structured and age-worthy style than the Diamond Collection. Aging in French oak barrels brings additional depth and a beautiful aromatic complexity. Founded by the legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, the estate was born out of his love for wine and family memories. In 1974, Coppola acquired a historic property in Rutherford, Napa Valley, using the profits from The Godfather. In 2006, he opened a second winery in Geyserville, in the Sonoma region. With iconic ranges like the Diamond Collection, Coppola combines tradition, quality, and accessibility, embodying the elegance of Californian wine.
On the nose, rich aromas of cherry and strawberry, enhanced by nuances of mocha, tobacco, and spices. On the palate, a velvety and rich texture, sublimated by a balanced structure and a long, spicy finish. It pairs perfectly with grilled pork chops or a mushroom and truffle pizza. Serve between 16 and 18°C. Cellaring potential of 8 years.
