Rosso & Bianco Chardonnay 2017 from Francis Ford Coppola Winery is a light and fresh interpretation of the Chardonnay grape, fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel, without the use of barrels—which preserves its pure, fruity character.On the nose, you can detect notes of pineapple, quince, and apple, while on the palate, velvety apricots, nectarines, and a subtle hint of cardamom—all woven into a crisp, pale straw-colored structure.Thanks to low extraction and cooler growing regions (Monterey and Mendocino), the result is a wine with moderate alcohol content and good acidity—perfect as an elegant accompaniment to meals.It pairs perfectly with seafood, mild semi-hard cheeses, and light desserts, as it was designed to be enjoyed every day and to be versatile at the table.
