Scents of tangerine and peach carry into the flavors, along with crushed apple and white cherry. Couched in a silky texture, its plush fruit is enriched by a hint of brown spice and lingers on the clean finish.

In 1933, the quality of Abele Adami’s sparkling wines was so well known that he was invited to represent the entire Prosecco region at a national showcase of Italian wines in Siena. For the occasion, Adami took the highly unusual step of bottling a single-vineyard wine—the first commercial example of a vineyard-specific Prosecco—producing the first vintage of the Adami “Vigneto Giardino” Valdobbiadene Prosecco.
The Adami winery has continued to specialize in Prosecco production since that time. Abele’s son Adriano began acquiring additional vineyards to increase the winery’s production volume and broaden its scope. As a result, Adami today owns land or has well-established relationships with growers in most of the prized areas of the original Prosecco zone—which since the expansion of the Prosecco area in 2009 has been given the elevated status of DOCG. In addition to the Giardino vineyard in the hamlet (or rive) of Colbertaldo, Adami now also bottles a single-vineyard Prosecco from Col Credas in the rive (communal cru) of Farra di Soligo and from the famous Cartizze subzone. The winery also produces three blended Proseccos from the DOCG area and one (Garbèl) from the wider Prosecco DOC. In all, Adami works with around 34 different vineyards, each with its own character.
Today the company is in the hands of the third generation of Adamis, Adriano’s sons Armando and Franco, both winemakers (with the fourth generation now in training). The winery now produces more than 60,000 cases of sparkling wine from 125 acres of vineyards, a quarter owned and the rest farmed by small growers with time-honored links to the winery and sharing its commitment to quality.

Adami "Col Credas" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Farra di Soligo Extra Brut 2019
![]() Fruit for this wine comes from the clay-rich soils of the Adami family’s Col Credas vineyard, and Franco Adami makes the base wine in a rounder style than that of Vigneto Giardino (also recommended here) to balance the low sugar content (just four grams per liter). Its flavors of green apple, tart lemon and tangy lime are crisp and bone dry, laced with saline notes that suggest a pairing with oysters or grilled seabass. 93

![]() Here's a fun way to interpret the versatile Glera grape. The Adami 2020 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Sui Lieviti Col Fondo Brut Nature has a very distinctive bouquet with mature fruit, apricot, crushed stone and panettone-style baked brioche. The wine is tight and streamlined to the palate, with firm beading, but the bouquet really is special. You could push this wine for an extra year or two of bottle age, and you might see some yeasts deposits at the bottom. This is a 9,200-bottle production. 91
