Description
Archimedes is a blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 7% petit verdot, 7% cabernet franc and 6% malbec from Alexander Valley, Sonoma County. The wine matures for 20 months in French oak barrels, of which 50% are new barrels. The wine is named after the Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer. Archimedes is widely regarded as the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. On the label you see one of the stories, which describes how Achimedes managed to defeat an entire Roman fleet by using a construction of mirrors to set the Roman boats on fire. Francis Ford Coppola's grandfather, Augusto, was an admirer of this Greek legend and named his eldest son after Archimedes. The wine is therefore a tribute to Uncle Archimedes.
Archimides is made for the true connoisseur and is only available in limited editions. When you open a bottle of Archimedes, the tempting scents of cocoa, toffee and raisins greet you. The wine is dark in color and the rich, soft tannins and mouth-filling flavors of mocha, cassis and cloves are accompanied by hints of tobacco in the long finish. A beautifully integrated wine! The Coppola Archimedes is a meditative wine, but also delicious with Beef Bourguignon, grilled lamb with portobello mushrooms or gorgonzola burgers.

Where wine used to be the exclusive property of winegrowers, it has now also become the playground of celebrities with a passion for wine. Director Francis Ford Coppola, with great films to his name as Apocalypse Now, is a true wine lover. For him, the decision to buy a wine company in the renowned Napa Valley wine region was a logical consequence of this passion for wine. Actually, in 1975, Coppola was looking for a home for the summer months, where he could make some wine in the basement like his grandparents once did. Wine making has been a tradition in the Coppola family for several generations. Agostino Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola's grandfather, made wine in the basement of his New York apartment building. He used cement barrels that he had built himself.
In his search, Francis Coppola came across Inglenook, a special estate in Rutherford, the part of Napa Valley where cabernet sauvignon thrives. The Napa wine company, which produces wines from its own vineyards, was named after its most famous wine, the Rubicon, so it is now known as Rubicon Estate, a producer of absolute top wines. The other wines were housed in Geyserville, Sonoma County, at the Rosso & Bianco Winery. Since 2006 the wines have been made under the name Diamond Collection and Rosso & Bianco, of course as real Coppola wines, with the same high quality requirements. The introduction of this new winery, with all modern techniques, has brought an extra step forward in the quality of the wines under the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond label. This label works with grapes from all over the California coastal strip, where they are purchased from growers with long-term contracts to ensure solid, reliable quality. There is constant consultation between winemakers and growers to arrange all the details of the vineyard management and to determine the exact time for picking. Unlike Hollywood stars, Francis Ford Coppola's wines are by no means superficial: they are powerful, perfectly balanced, have a long finish and are pleasantly smooth. In 2001, the Francis Ford Coppola winery was awarded “Winery of the Year” (Wine & Spirits).
