Francis Coppola Sofia Rosé

Alluring and refreshing Rosé with a aromas of wild strawberries, cardamom, and lemon peel. This wine is lively and balanced with juicy flavors of tangerine and a hint of stony minerals. Elegant blend of Monterey County Syrah, Grenache, and Pinot Noir.

VINEYARD NOTES
The fruit for our Sofia Rosé is grown in Monterey County, an appellation known for its cool climate and diurnal temperature pattern, where warm daytime temperatures may drop nearly 50 degrees in the evening. This condition extends the growing season and helps the grapes to ripen slowly.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES
In crafting Sofia Rosé, the grapes are harvested at a lower Brix to ensure the wine remains light in character and pairs well with food. To achieve our signature hue, an elegant shade of salmon pink, the grapes are held in the press for a short period of time until the juice has just the right amount of pigment. Each varietal offers its own unique color to the overall blend. To preserve the aromatic intensity, the wine is fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel fermenters.
