Blogger is acting up tonight so I will be brief. Luca Ferraris "Bric D' Bianc" Ruche di Castagnole 2006 is Mother's day wine #2. This one was served with grilled filet mignon paired with a cheddar potato cake, balsamic marinated portabella mushrooms with parmesan, and simple green beans. The bracing tannins this wine possesses was a nice counterbalance to the richer meal.Its a $16 wine that reminded me at first like a Cotes du Rhone but then seemed more like a light weight Barolo. It has beautiful aromatics, sharp tannins and a clean finish. Further research reveals that this wine is from Piedmont and does (according to wiki) share some resemblance to its elegant neighbor Nebbiolo.
