Winemaker's Notes:

Francis Coppola Sofia Rosé is a wine of unparalleled beauty. From its shapely, distinctive bottle adorned with masterful artwork to its fruity, delicate essence, Sofia Rosé is a wine like no other. A wine made for summer sipping, it should be served chilled.

Sofia Rosé is a refreshing, dry wine with a lovely pink hue and perfume that alternates between sun-warmed rose petals and just picked strawberries. Black cherry, raspberry and strawberry flavors share the palate with a vibrant acidity.

Its refreshing style makes it a delicious partner to all kinds of savory dishes, from tostadas and spicy grilled chicken to a nicoise salad.

About Francis Coppola Winery:

In 1879, Finnish explorer and adventurer Gustave Niebaum searched the Napa Valley with the goal of establishing a wine estate to rival the finest chateau of France. For decades his wines won acclaim and remain some of the most admired in American wine history's classic period. By the mid-1960s, his property was divided, and estate-wine production ceased.

A decade later, Francis Ford Coppola purchased 1,500 acres of this historic property and revived Captain Niebaum's fine winemaking tradition. In 1995, Niebaum-Coppola acquired the remainder of the property and restored the Inglenook Estate to its original dimensions.
