Ca'Momi Wines - The Winery

About our label

The house in the watercolor painting on our label really is our house: Ca' Momi, in Veneto, Italy. We named it in honor of Momi dea Bionda, a local character who was famous for his obsession with the house, his grapes and his wine. We liked the idea of keeping his memory alive.

Momi was a memorable character. In his later years, he would ride around the property on an old motorcycle with a sidecar attached. Across his lap he carried a rifle, to scare away those hoping to steal a taste of his grapes. And in the sidecar rode his best friend, Lidia, a faithful dog who continued to ride in the sidecar even after she went blind.

We love the idea that Momi still watches over our home and its vineyard. In fact, we think we have seen him quite a few times. Some of the locals say that he haunts our home. We prefer to think that his ghost is just keeping an eye on things. His dog, too.
