Fumé Blanc White Wine Pasta Sauce

If you’re ever looking for a stylish white wine that’s delicious year round, look no further than Fumé Blanc. This wine has all of the bright flavor of Sauvignon Blanc, yet with a more unctuous mouthfeel and playful vanilla accents. This refined wine offers a delicious pairing, especially alongside lighter meats like chicken and fish. For this recipe, we’re layering deliciously: wine with the food and wine in the food! Not only does our Fumé Blanc infuse this sauce with delicious flavor, it pairs perfectly!

Simple White Wine Sauce

2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup olive oil
5 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper fresh ground
½ cup white wine
1 pound preferred pasta
½ cup parsley for garnishing
½ cup parmesan fresh grated

Prepare the pasta: bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Prepare noodles al dente and reserve pasta water.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, red pepper and sauté until golden, about one minute.
Add salt, pepper, wine and butter to the pan.
Stir for 2 minutes, remove from heat and toss with pasta, chicken, scallops or shrimp, adding reserved pasta water as needed to coat the noodles and protein.
Garnish with parsley and fresh grated parmesan.

Food Pairings for Fumé Blanc

It’s about time for some warm-weather wine and summer friendly pairings! This week, we are putting our Fumé Blanc in the spotlight with pairing opportunities galore. This food-friendly wine brings lively tropical aromas with each sip, along with bright enticing flavor and a finish of ripe pear and white nectarine. This varietal is unique to this part of the world, so you don’t want to miss it!

Fumé Blanc is a California-born wine, and fittingly golden in both hue and flavor. Winemaking legend Robert Mondavi pioneered this wine, bringing new esteem to Sauvignon Blanc in California. Fumé Blanc owes part of its name to the Pouilly-Fumé region of France, known for its Sauvignon Blanc. The treatment of Fumé Blanc sets it apart from Sauvignon Blanc. Usually, Fumé Blanc has been aged in oak, unlike Sauvignon Blanc. Our winemaker uses neutral oak for a gentle influence, bringing body and some beautiful vanilla accents to our Fumé Blanc. The 2020 Rubino Estates Fumé Blanc spent 18 months in barrel before bottling. Scroll down to see a quick pairing guide and be inspired!
