Wine writer Randy Fuller enjoyed a bottle of Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc, a 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine, while dining at Spiedini Italian Ristorante in Summerlin, Nevada. The wine, which is fermented partially in stainless steel and partially in neutral French oak, has a mineral-laden and citrusy palate that paired well with Fuller's grilled calamari and his mother-in-law's buttery clams.
Why it matters
The review highlights how a well-chosen white wine can elevate a dining experience, even a simple meal shared with family. It also showcases the versatility of the Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc in pairing with a variety of seafood dishes.
The details
The Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from the winery's Sonoma County vineyards. The wine is fermented about two-thirds in stainless steel and one-third in neutral French oak, which gives it a fuller mouthfeel. The wine has a greenish tint in the glass and aromas of citrus and smoke. On the palate, it is mineral-laden and citrusy, with a flavor of lemon peel that carries through to the finish.
