Francis Ford Coppola Rosso & Bianco Chardonnay 2023 (California)

Description

Lemon, Pastry, Unoaked

"Beautifully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows golden peach, pineapple, brioche, and nougat aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering rounded mouthfeel backed by mellow acidity, finishing creamy and lingering. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The fruit for the Rosso & Bianco Chardonnay is picked based on flavor ripeness and acidity. It is then harvested in the cool of night and then delivered to the winery to be pressed into fermentation tanks. The juice is fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s flavors and aromas.

Rosso & Bianco Chardonnay offers the light, crisp character of freshly picked fruit. By fermenting in stainless steel rather than oak, the varietal’s fragrance is presented in its natural state, uninfluenced by wood or the spice notes that barrels create. 100% fermented and aged in stainless steel.

Food Pairing: This technique gives the wine a lighter texture, making it food friendly and delicious when paired with shellfish, mild semi-soft cheeses, and desserts.
