US-based Francis Ford Coppola Winery has launched a new canned pinot noir as part of the 2017 Francis Coppola Diamond Collection.

The launch follows the release of a canned chardonnay, a pinot grigio and a sauvignon blanc last year.

Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir is said to offer an aromatic profile of fresh red fruit, including raspberry and strawberry.

“Our dedication to superior quality, sustainability and authentic brands remain important to our business.”

The Family Coppola CEO and chief winemaker Corey Beck said: “We’re excited to show our continued commitment to premium canned wine by bringing the award-winning Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir to a can offering.

“We were one of the first to put wine in a can and our dedication to superior quality, sustainability and authentic brands remain important to our business.”

The Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir is available in a portable and lightweight four-pack of 250ml cans, which are claimed to be environmentally friendly and recyclable.

With a suggested retail price (SRP) of $24, the Diamond Collection will be available at the winery’s tasting room, through the company website, and at select restaurants and retailers.

Francis Ford Coppola Winery started producing canned wine in 2000. Over the last decade, the canned wine category has registered a significant growth.
