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.

MARCH 2024
Adami "Col Credas" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Farra di Soligo Extra Brut 2013
![]() HISTORICAL RE-RELEASE. Masses of crushed black cherries, plum sauce, grilled herbs and worn leather are offset by a hint of graphite as the 2013 Carmignano Villa di Capezzana Dieci Anni slowly awakens in the glass. Seductively silky and enveloping, it coats the palate with ripe red and blue fruits, excited by a tinge of sour citrus. Rosy inner florals form toward the close. This is sultry and staining through the finish as adolescent tannins grumble, yet the mouth is left watering for more, leaving notes of dark chocolate and espresso bean to slowly fade. The 2013 is steadily moving toward maturity, with many years of positive development ahead. 93
JUNE 2022
Adami "Col Credas" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Farra di Soligo Extra Brut 2020
![]() So much crushed-stone character here with citrus and black-cherry aromas. Medium-bodied with iodine and oyster-shell undertones to the blue fruit. Lemon rind at the end. Drink or hold. 93
MAY 2023
Adami "Col Credas" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Farra di Soligo Extra Brut 2021
![]() This Prosecco is linear and focused, almost austere in its laser-like acidity and cool salinity. Notes of lemon pith emerge, but the wine is more about precision and freshness than fruit. Ideal for oysters or grilled scallops. 90

Adami "Dei Casel" Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry
![]() This wine is soft and silky, with lightly tangy flavors of yellow apple and white peach brightened by a surge of salinity that cleanses the finish. 91

Adami "Col Credas" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Farra di Soligo Extra Brut 2018
![]() Dry and quenching, this opens with fruity aromas of green apple, yellow pear and green melon. The aromas carry over to the crisp palate along with citrus and white-almond notes, while a soft mousse provides the backdrop 91
AUGUST 2022
Adami "Vigneto Giardino" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colbertaldo Asciutto 2020
![]() The 2020 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rive di Colbertaldo Vigneto Giardino Dry is another classic wine from the charismatic Franco Adami. This festive bottle shows aromas of honeysuckle, candied lemon, crushed stone and Golden Delicious apple. Franco writes "Asciutto" in Italian instead of the English "Dry," and there's a lot to read into that. Is this a protest against the fact that the word Dry is confusing to the consumer? Production is 40,200 bottles. 89
DECEMBER 2020
Adami "Garbél" Prosecco DOC Treviso Brut N/V
![]() The NV Prosecco Garbèl represents amazing value in its category. Sweet white flowers, young peach and hints of vanilla bean make up its seductive bouquet. It’s wonderfully balanced, with a soothing bead of bubbles that massage the palate, giving way to ripe orchard fruits. A hint of salty minerality frames the expression perfectly, as it tapers off, leaving a complete refreshed sensation. This was bottled in September of 2020. |
