Francis Ford Coppola DIRECTOR'S CUT Pinot Noir 2022 14,5% Vol. 0,75l

When one hears the name Francis Ford Coppola, one immediately thinks of cinematic masterpieces like "The Godfather" or "Apocalypse Now," but his success in the wine world is no less impressive, and is now considered as legendary as his work as a director. While Coppola is passionate about cinema, he describes viticulture as an equally important art form: "Winemaking and filmmaking are two great art forms," he explains.

Over the past decades, together with his outstanding oenologist and wine strategist Corey Beck, he has succeeded in bringing a series of extremely successful wines to market that reflect his attention to detail and creative vision.

The Pinot Noir from the Director's Cut series at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery delights with a velvety texture and fascinating aromas that captivate every wine lover. To stabilize color intensity, the grapes undergo a three-day maceration, during which their natural pigments and aromas are gently extracted.

Fermentation takes place over a period of nine days in open fermenters, with the must being processed together with whole grapes. During this process, the pomace cap is submerged by hand several times a day to optimally promote the extraction of flavor, color, and tannins. This careful process gives the wine its unique depth and structure.
