Chardonnay 'Director’s Cut' Russian River Valley AVA Francis Ford Coppola Winery 2021

Francis Ford Coppola's Russian River Chardonnay is produced entirely with Chardonnay grapes, harvested and selected only by hand. Born in vineyards located in the Russian River Valley, the famous wine region of California. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine ages for 8 months in French oak barrels, before being bottled. This Chardonnay is characterized by a bright golden yellow colour. The nose opens with pleasing aromas of citrus fruits, tropical fruits, quince and passion fruit, enriched with notes of cardamom, nutmeg and vanilla. On the palate it is dense and fresh, with a pleasantly persistent finish in which toasted notes deriving from the aging in oak develop. This white wine is perfect to accompany mushrooms and fish dishes.
