Rosso & Bianco
Francis Ford Coppola's newest Wine Country endeavor, Rosso & Bianco, made its home in this historic site in Alexander Valley in early 2006. Many of Rosso & Bianco's wines are familiar, like the widely distributed Diamond Collection, as well as the sparkling Sofia. Coppola has also introduced some new reserve wines at Rosso & Bianco. The well-regarded cafe at Rosso & Bianco is open daily for lunch and on Sundays for brunch until 4:30. Daily tours.
Notables:
Francis Ford Coppola bought the historic Chateau Souverain property in late 2005, and has made to all the Coppola wines not under the Rubicon Estate label. Pillsbury actually built this historic replica of a hop kiln in the early 1970s. It swapped hands a few times until Foster's purchased it as part of their larger takeover of Beringer. Coppola has renamed the new winery Rosso & Bianco , and beyond the Diamond Collection you'll also find appellation specific wines under the Director's Cut and FC Reserve labels. The facility is beautiful, with lovely gardens, movie memorabilia, and a large selection of gifts. The cafe serves Lunch Mon-Sat. and Sunday Brunch from 11:30am till 4:30pm.
