Francis Ford Coppola Winery Premieres Custom Wines for 2019 Oscars® & Governors Ball
Inspired by Creativity and Innovation in Film, Francis Ford Coppola Winery Creates One of a Kind Animated Wine Label
Through a process of meticulous fruit selection and numerous blending trials, these specially made wines capture the distinct nuances of distinguished microclimates in a highly refined style. Additionally, the elegant Sofia Rosé, named after critically-acclaimed director Sofia Coppola, was selected for the program as well as Director’s Cut Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, Francis Coppola Reserve Pinot Noir, and Eleanor wines. This new wine, which continues the three-year partnership with the Oscars®, features unique zoetrope labels from Irving G. Thalberg Memorial award recipient and five-time Oscar® winner Francis Ford Coppola’s personal collection.
“These wines are a tribute to Francis Ford Coppola’s love for film and wine,” says Corey Beck, The Family Coppola CEO and Chief Winemaker. “Francis took a risk 40 years ago and purchased a home in wine country where he started making wine. It seems only appropriate that we drew from his passion and bottled the Oscars® wines with our revolutionary label that took five years to develop. Featuring a moving Zoetrope, the grapes come from Francis’s estate and the impeccable Dutton Ranch in Sonoma County, both beautiful wines to celebrate the Oscars®!”
