Production & Heritage

Francis Ford Coppola Winery — best known for its Sonoma County estate — sources this Prosecco from vineyards in northeastern Italy's Prosecco DOC zone, situated between the Adriatic Sea and the Dolomite Mountains. That geographic corridor creates distinct microclimates where cooling mountain breezes moderate warm coastal air, preserving the acidity and aromatics in the Glera grape. The wine is produced using the Charmat method (tank method), in which secondary fermentation occurs in pressurized stainless steel tanks rather than individual bottles, yielding the lighter, frothier bead and fruit-forward character that defines Prosecco's style.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Golden Delicious apple leads, followed by citrus blossom, freshly cut flowers, and a subtle thread of wild ginger. A faint bubblegum note emerges as the wine opens in the glass, adding an unexpected aromatic lift.

Taste: The palate opens with crisp green apple and white peach, moving into a citrus-driven mid-palate of lemon zest and grapefruit pith. Orchard fruit dominates from start to finish, supported by soft, persistent bubbles and a gentle pop of sweetness that keeps the wine from veering dry.

Finish: Medium-short and clean, with lingering notes of ripe pear and a whisper of citrus rind. The mousse dissipates gently, leaving a fresh, slightly sweet impression that invites the next sip.

How to Drink Coppola Prosecco

Serve well chilled — around 40–45°F — in a tulip glass to concentrate the aromatics while preserving carbonation better than a wide-mouth coupe. This Prosecco's approachable sweetness and bright fruit make it an excellent cocktail base: try it in a classic Bellini, where the peach profile amplifies fresh peach purée; in an Aperol Spritz, where its soft bubbles balance the bittersweet liqueur; or in a French 75 variation substituting Prosecco for Champagne, where its apple and citrus notes complement gin and lemon beautifully.

Best For

• Hosting a brunch where a crowd-pleasing sparkling wine is needed
• Gifting to someone exploring Italian sparkling wines beyond Champagne
• Aperitivo hour paired with light antipasti and charcuterie
• Celebratory toasts at casual dinner parties or seasonal gatherings
