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.

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.

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. |
