Adami Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut Bosco di Gica
Glera
| Description: | Review Following their grandfather Abele and father Adriano Adami, the younger generation, Armando and Franco Adami have brought a refined technological approach to the art of producing some of the regions best spumantes. Their success is demonstrated in part by Francos current leadership as president of the Valdobbiadene Consorzio. In 1920 grandfather Abele Adami purchased the Giardino vineyard which is shaped like an amphitheatre on a south facing slope. It is planted on shallow calcareous soil on bedrock, which crops out occasionally. From this vineyard the Adamis produce their greatest spumante, Vigneto Giardino, recognized as Proseccos first cru in 1933 and considered the benchmark for Prosecco ever since. The familys other vineyards in the historic Valdobbiadene zone are planted on steep hills, where mixed soils predominate. This clay-like, often calcareous, low nutrient and well drained soil is fairly shallow, particularly at higher elevations. Cartizze, a long celebrated cru also lies here as well as prestigious individual vineyards. Additional vineyards at lower altitudes are located in the Colli Trevigiani area with ideal conditions for expressing the typical fruit notes of the Prosecco grape. Adamis customary spumante production is light pressing with bladder presses, settling of must, fermentation at controlled temperatures (64-68f) with cultured yeasts, followed by contact with fine lees in stainless steel for 3 months. The second fermentation is made with the Metodo Italiano (Charmat) in steel pressure tanks. Adami has been recognized by Gambero Rosso as one of Italys top Proseccos year after year. Selected as one of Wine & Spirits Magazines Top 100 Wineries of the Year in 2009. Technical notes (100% Glera).

Wine Enthusiast 88 points - Fresh and foaming, this has aromas suggesting spring wildflower and yellow pear. On the smooth palate, a soft mousse accompanies green apple and white peach before a hint of almond signals the close. (Dec 2019). Wine Advocate 89 points - Disgorged in March 2017, this bottle celebrates the 25th anniversary (1992-2017) of this wine. The Nv Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Bosco di Gica is a cheerful and lighthearted wine with a pretty array of cheerful aromas. The bouquet offers delicate and intermingled fragrances of lemon, tangerine skin and white rose. The brut style usually shows a lower volume of aromatic intensity, but this wine gives you plenty to admire nonetheless. (Aug 2017) A lightbodied, youthful wine offering aromas of yellow apple and peach with notes of wisteria and acacia blossom. Lingering flavors nicely mirror the nose to achieve perfect balance. |
