About this WINE
Ca'Momi
In the early 1990s, Stefano Migotto and Dario De Conti were two of Italy’s brightest young winemakers. A decade later, each came to California to share his expertise with American winemakers. In the process, both fell in love with the Napa Valley and started a partnership along with Valentina Guolo-Migotto in the Ca’ Momi Napa Valley brand, which was founded in 2006.
From the winery and vineyards in Carneros, and featuring hand-selected fruit from across the Napa Valley, Ca’ Momi seeks to represent Napa Valley fruit carefully crafted by the heritage and obsessive care of Old World winemaking.
Combined, Stefano and Dario have over 30 years’ experience in wine consulting and the finer points of Old World winemaking. From their years consulting for wineries throughout the region, both men hold long-established relationships with some of the best grape growers in Napa Valley, guaranteeing top-quality fruit for their wines for years to come.
Dario De Conti is not only the CEO and Winemaker – he is also a certified Pizzaiolo (pizza maker). He always wanted to combine his love of wine and food and, in October 2010, Ca’ Momi Enoteca opened in the town of Napa. The Enoteca is a lively full-service Italian restaurant specializing in VPN Certified Pizza Napoletana, Ospitalità Italiana certified Italian dishes, and organic Italian pastries. It is hardly surprising that their Rosso di Napa is an excellent match with artisan pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
Italians Dario DeConti, Valentina Guolo-Migotto and Stefano Migotto bring an 'Old World' slant to their Californian wines, indicative of their Italian heritage. Unsurprisingly, this wine has an interesting 'passito' feel about it, with a touch of dried cherries and figs alongside the ripe red and black bramble fruit. This is an intriguing wine, bright, lively and very drinkable indeed. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot and Petite Sirah and the rich, sweet but not overripe fruit profile would make this an excellent choice with barbequed food.
