Ca' Momi Chardonnay 2019

Cellar for up to 7 years. Serve chilled. Ca Momi is named after Momi dea Bionda, the characteristic former owner of the home that appears on the label who used to patrol his vineyards with his faithful blind dog, his motorcycle, and his rifle. The wines of Ca Momi capture this wild, authentic spirit thanks to the talent and dedication of the projects three founders, Italian winemakers Dario De Conti, Valentina Guolo-Migotto and Stefano Migotto. The Ca Momi project fuses Old World winemaking heritage with the vigour and audacity of Napas terroir. Their elegant Napa Valley Chardonnay is handcrafted from estate-grown fruit which is carefully vinified by winemakers Dario and Stefano. The young wine is then aged in French and American oak barrels for 10 months, adding complexity and a rich, creamy texture to the ripe fruit flavours. Succulent peaches, pineapple, mango and even hints of lychee immediately burst out of the glass, while the palate reveals notes of butterscotch, citrus, caramel and vanilla from the oak maturation. Theres a perfect balance between bold fruit character and a bright streak of acidity followed by a long finish seasoned with gentle spice and hints of dried herbs. A great wine to enjoy with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, grilled salmon or tuna, or even a simple platter of cheeses and charcuterie.
