2010 Ferrari-Carano Bella Luce

Taste: 5/5
Value: 5/5
Price: $13

Enjoyed this with friends as an apperitif it was refreshing without being too crisp (i.e. had a very light, but not cloying sweetness).

Ferrari-Carano’s unique, proprietary, white wine blend - Bella Luce, which means “beautiful light” in Italian - is the sister wine to our SIENA and Pinot Grigio. The goal of Bella Luce was to create a fragrant and light white wine blend from varietals that would complement one another in aromas, flavors and texture. Bella Luce accomplishes this with delicious layers of peach, vanilla and floral aromas, and wisps of orange blossom, pear and lime.  Distinctive and round on the palate, Bella Luce’s flavors of cream, vanilla, citrus, and apple shine through.  A blend of Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Semillon, Muscat Giallo, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, and Riesling.

Will definitely buy again and would love to try with pasta in an olive oil/garlic sauce.
