THE WINE
The 'Director’s Cut' of Francis Ford Coppola Winery originates in the Alexander Valley where the Coppola family spent over 20 years replanting all the original vineyards, which were planted in Napa Valley in 1882. Decadent and complex, this Cut is fragrant with exotic notes of cloves and toasted oak. Aged in French oak barrels, it will develop for many years.
THE COMPANY
The Coppola family took more than twenty years to restore all the original vineyards, which had been planted in the lands of the Château in Napa Valley back in 1882. Alongside the restoration of the buildings and the winery, a long process of renewing the vines planted in the last century was simultaneously initiated, aiming to preserve the roots of the old vines, particularly safeguarding the most important and historic clones that had arrived from France. Among the rows, the utmost respect is given to the balance of nature, environment, and ecosystem, and the plants are cultivated to produce honest, rich, and concentrated fruits in every organoleptic nuance. The first wine was produced in 1975, and today, all the wines from the company come from estate-grown grapes, are certified organic, and are monitored throughout their entire production process. Currently, the company is named Rubicon Estate, in honor of the ultra-awarded wine based on the Bordeaux blend according to the now-typical tradition of Napa Valley, which has drawn inspiration, truthfully without hiding it, from the authoritative French productions. In the Francis Ford Coppola winery, highly computerized mechanisms help create excellent wines that are also available at an accessible and truly competitive price. However, even while using the most modern and advanced enological technologies, the main goal remains one and only: to enhance and value what the territory and the season have been able to express in the grapes. This gives rise to a range of labels capable of pleasing any palate. From the “Diamond Collection” to the “Director’s Cut” line, all wines are born from simply impeccable management. Bottles that tell the story of what is the most beautiful California when it comes to wine.
