The nose of this Prosecco is focused with aromas of tart green apples, Meyer lemon zest and lilies. The refined palate deftly follows the nose and continues the laser-like focus, finishing with a very impressive minerality.

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 "Vigneto Giardino" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colbertaldo Asciutto 2019
![]() The 2019 Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Rive di Colbertaldo Asciutto Vigneto Giardino displays musky peaches and pears backed by dusty dried florals and lemon zests. It’s a round, pliant and jovial expression, balancing ripe orchard fruits and sweet spice against vibrant acids. Hints of candied ginger linger through the mouthwatering finale. With just a touch of residual sugar, the Vigneto Giardino comes across as wonderfully balanced and fully satisfying. This was bottled in September of 2020. ![]() OCTOBER 2023

Adami "Dei Casel" Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry NV
![]() The NV Extra Dry Prosecco Superiore dei Casel opens slowly in the glass, with nuances of green melon and dried flowers complemented by a hint of candied ginger. It soothes with its silken bead of fine bubbles, filling the senses with ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices offset by saline minerals that collect toward the close. Pretty hints of candied citrus and inner florals linger as the DEI Casel finishes with impressive length and precision, yet completely fresh. This understated beauty will win many hearts. Well done. 92

Adami "Vigneto Giardino" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colbertaldo Asciutto 2020
![]() The 2020 Asciutto Rive di Colbertaldo Vigneto Giardino is remarkably airy and fresh yet deep; stone dust gives way to dried flowers, ground ginger and citrus-tinged pear. This is a luxuriously soft and round expression, with silken bubbles and a beautiful balance of saline acidity contrasting its pleasant inner sweetness. Ripe pear mixes with green melon and candied citrus throughout the long and incredibly refreshing finale, as a twang of granny smith lingers. Adami is a master of the Asciutto style, which the winery estimates leaves between 17-32 grams per liter of residual sugar; and yet, you’d be hard-pressed to notice it at all. 90
APRIL 2024
Adami Bosco di Gica Brut Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore NV
![]() Alpine mint, wild fennel, basil and pistachio notes. A cool feel to this. The mouthfeel is creamy but demur and straitlaced. Very asciutto, a word denoting the clean finish as the acidity carries the length well after the superficial flavors have diminished. Excellent. Drink now. 93
DECEMBER 2021
Adami "Col Fondo" Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore Sul Lieviti Brut Nature 2020
![]() The 2020 Brut Nature Prosecco Superiore sui Lieviti Col Fondo pulls you close with its seductive bouquet that mixes young mango and peach skins with exotic florals and an enriching hint of almond paste. This is incredibly elegant and velvety in feel, lifted by juicy acidity while contrasting notes of butterscotch and vanilla bean with citrus-infused orchard fruits and minerals. As heady and extroverted as it may sound, the 2020 Col Fondo remains savory and fresh, leaving the mouth watering for more throughout the long yet crisp finale. Frankly, it’s hard to stop at one glass. This clocks in at less than three grams of residual sugar per liter and, unlike the other wines in the Adami portfolio, is produced through a secondary fermentation in bottle instead of tank. 94

Adami "Col Credas" Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Farra di Soligo Extra Brut 2022
![]() Talc, pumice, sage, lemon rind and mint. Tight and demur. While this site is mainly clay, it is very steep and high at around 350 meters. The feel is of somewhere considerably cooler. Minerally, taut and long in the dry, pithy finish. This is excellent. Drink now. |
