Adami : Col Credas - Rive di Farra di Soligo Brut 2017

The elegance and indulgence of a Prosecco Superiore from Veneto

The estate

The history of the Adami estate began in 1920, following Abele Adami’s purchase of a vineyard located in a natural amphitheatre on the hills of Valdobbiadene in Veneto. Situated in north-east Italy, this estate is known for the quality of its cuvées, produced in the appellations of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG and DOC Cartizze.

The vineyard

This Col Credas – Rive di Farra di Soligo Brut 2017 cuvée by Adami is produced from a vineyard located at an average altitude of 350 to 400 metres. The vines are planted on clayey, shallow soils. The term "Rive" refers to the steep vineyards located on south- and southeast-facing hillsides.

Winemaking and ageing

Light pressing is followed by a gravity-fed settling of the musts. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures (17-19°C) with yeasts cultivated by the estates. Ripening on fine lees lasts for 3 months in tanks. The second fermentation, at 15-17°C, is followed by cold, tartaric stablisation (-4°C).

Blend

The Col Credas – Rive de Farra di Soligo Brut 2017 by Adami is 100% Glera.
