Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Chardonnay
White wine | California
To savor... in front of a good film!
California is the cradle of great American Chardonnay. That of the Diamond Collection by Francis Ford Coppola is an example of this intense, whole style, with aromas of apricot and melon, supported by notes of toasted almonds, vanilla and crème brûlée. A supple, generous, very round white wine, a pure uninhibited Californian pleasure!
