Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc wine is crafted in Sonoma County, California, showcasing a meticulous winemaking process. The grapes are carefully handled, crushed, and cold-settled in stainless steel tanks for at least 48 hours to preserve the purity of the juice. Afterward, fermentation occurs in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, with close monitoring. The wine undergoes sur lie aging, stirring every other week for two months, adding depth and complexity before blending and bottling. This attention to detail has earned the wine numerous prestigious awards.
The result is a vibrant and refreshing Fume Blanc with bright acidity and crispness. The stainless steel fermentation brings lively freshness, while the subtle oak character from the French barrels adds body and complexity. Together, these elements create an invigorating and layered wine, leaving a lasting, refreshing impression.
