When you hear the name Francis Ford Coppola, you first think of cinematic masterpieces such as "The Godfather" or "Apocalypse Now", but his success in the world of wine is no less impressive and is now considered just as legendary as his work as a director. While Coppola is passionate about cinema, he himself describes winemaking 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 the market that reflect his attention to detail and his creative vision.

The Pinot Noir from the Francis Ford Coppola Winery's Director's Cut series delights with a velvety texture and fascinating flavours that will captivate any wine lover. To stabilise the colour 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 fermentation vats, where the must is processed together with whole grapes. During this process, the cap is submerged by hand several times a day to promote the extraction of flavour, colour and tannins. This meticulous process gives the wine its unique depth and structure.
