About the producer

Adami is a family estate in the Prosecco heartland of Treviso, known for making sparkling wines with precision and restraint rather than heavy dosing.

About the year

Prosecco is best enjoyed young, within a year or two of release, when the fruit is bright and the bubbles are liveliest.

Grape characteristics

Glera is the grape behind all Prosecco. It ripens easily in the cool hills of Veneto and gives wines that are naturally fresh and approachable, with gentle fruit rather than power.

About the region

The Veneto region north of Venice has a cool climate moderated by nearby mountains and the Adriatic. The chalky soil and morning mists create ideal conditions for growing Glera at high acidity.

Tasting profile

Expect a dry, refreshing sparkling wine with flavours of green apple, citrus and white stone fruit, with a touch of almond on the finish. The bubbles are fine and persistent.

Serving suggestions

Serve well chilled, around 6 to 8 degrees Celsius, in a flute or white wine glass. No decanting needed. Drink as soon as you pour it.
