Coppola Rosso

Description

Our Rosso & Bianco wines have always been very special to us. Not only do they pay tribute to our familys Italian heritage, theyre some of the first wines we ever created. The care that goes into crafting them offers unparalleled quality at an unbeatable price. When it comes to Rosso, the brands flagship wine, we strive to bring you a blend that reflects the kind of homemade comfort wines Coppola recalls his family making.Our 2014 Rosso offers rich, juicy flavors of berries, cherries, and an edge of spice. With medium weight and a velvety palate, this highly versatile red blend delivers robust character from supple tannins and lightly toasted oak. A perfect pairing with hearty dishes such as braised beef, grilled lamb chops, and cheesy pasta dishes.Tasting profileAppearance Red magentaAromas Blackberries, currants, cinnamon, tobacco leavesFlavors Cherries, plums, cocoa, toasted oakWinemakers notesThe fruit for Rosso is grown in Lodi, where warm sunny days give way to cool afternoons andevenings. This temperature differential slows the ripening process and allows the grapes todevelop concentration and complexity.The varied nuances in this wine are the result of blending varietals Zinfandel offers pepper, spicenotes, and succulent dark fruits, Syrah gives the wine a velvety texture, Cabernet Sauvignon lendsred fruit and structure, and Petite Sirah provides body and weight.2014 experienced an extremely warm, dry season, which prompted an early harvest of ripe, luscious fruit that offers great concentration, dramatic fragrance and a rich palate with good balance. – Corey Beck, Winemaker
