Italy’s white wines are as diverse as the country’s reds. With a trove of native varieties, there is an Italian white wine to fit every budget and every occasion. In fact, there are so many choices that shopping for an Italian white wine can be overwhelming.

In this - 100% White Grape Varietal - dinner, we will take you on a journey through few of Italy’s white wine region and as usual talk a little about history, geology and the reason those wines are so damn good!

 

THE VENUE:
Inspired by the Italian bar café atmosphere, where a bar is the center of social life, Momenti brings to life the authentic Italian experience in the heart of Xintiandi. While the exterior is the classic Shikumen architecture, the interior is more modernized, designed by Alberto Caiola, who also designed the Flask Bar.

Momenti is decorated with a long marble table that evokes typically Italian scenes, where family and friends gather at one big table to share food and recent news. For those who want a more private moment, Momenti also offers separate tables.

Le Dolci Colline Prosecco Spumante Brut Prosseco DOC
This Prosecco from the sweet, rolling hills of northern Italy opens with tight and sharp bubbling that climbs steadily up the sides of your glass. The wine shows white flower, pear and honey like flavors.

TENUTA CARRETTA Gavi di Gavi Monserito
It is difficult enough to make a great Gavi di Gavi, but Tenuta Carretta is spot on. The nose of the wine is full of sweet citrus and meyer lemon. That meyer lemon is mirrored on the palate with fresh acidity and a light body. Perfect for summer sippin'

CRISTO DI CAMPOBELLO Laudari Chardonnay
Warm, creamy, rich and beautifully intense, Laudàri is a compelling expression of Chardonnay from Sicily, with bold aromas of stone fruit, pineapple, butter and toasted almond.

CRISTO DI CAMPOBELLO LALUCI
Laluci 2013, Sicilia Grillo del Baglio di Cristo di Campobello, is a dream come true. The passion the Bonetta family puts into its wines is incredible as is the energy and almost desperate research that transcends the wine itself and becomes a vehicle to transmit the emotions and even internal effort that production entails.

CARPINETO Farnito Vinsanto del Chianti Classico, DOC
Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a sweet wine produced in the Tuscany's Chianti Classico zone in Tuscany, central Italy. This vintage 1995 from the famous Carpineto winery is something you won’t forget!
