Ferrari-Carano Fumé Blanc is a crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma County, California. This wine showcases bright aromas of guava, apricot, lychee, pink grapefruit, pineapple, and lemon grass, leading to flavors of fresh pineapple, mango, peach, lemon cream, white peach, kiwi, honey dew, and orange blossom on the palate with a touch of minerality. Light and full of bright fruit characters, it offers lively acidity and crisp freshness.

The wine is crafted from Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from Sonoma County and North Coast California vineyards. When the grapes arrive at the winery, each lot is gently crushed and pressed into stainless steel tanks for 48 hours of cold settling. The juice is then fermented in either stainless steel tanks or older French oak barrels. The wine aged in barrels undergoes sur lie aging with stirring every other week for two months, adding body, complexity, and depth while maintaining bright acidity.

This versatile wine pairs well with simple seafood and poultry dishes, and also holds up nicely with veal and pork. The lively flavors complement spicy and ethnic cuisines including Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Mexican, and Southwestern dishes. With an ABV of 13.8%, this wine is perfect for spring and summer dining al fresco.
