Orange blossom, wisteria, lemon, peach, unripe strawberry, red apple, Asian pear, fennel, mushroom and honeycomb.

With its light-golden hue and delicate, long-lasting bubble, this sparkling Prosecco is as cheery as a sunflower and will turn any occasion into a celebration. Crisp, fresh and fruity, it’s fantastically rich and harmonious. On the nose, it’s intense and lovely, with apple and peach and floral notes (wild wisteria!) mixed with a crisp spiciness. What you smell is what you taste—a gorgeous fruit-forward flavor that’s supple and layers the mouth with velvet. Full and long, it has a stunning balance and dry finish. Elegant and festive, versatile and pleasant, this wine makes a perfect aperitif and will fete up any gathering.

Adami, a family wine estate, is located near Treviso, in the downy green hills of Marca Trevigiana, a region steeped in history. Since the Middle Ages, the area—naturally predisposed to vineyards—has long been known for its excellent white wines; over the centuries, winegrowing flourished as oak forests were reclaimed for vineyards, and the area’s landscape went through a profound change, evolving from bosco (forest) to giardino (garden). After a devastating bout of phylloxera hit Europe in the late 19th century, Prosecco took over as the leading local varietal.
Abele Adami purchased the vineyard in 1920 from a local count and started the Giardino vineyard (known historically as “vigna Zardin”). In 1933, his Prosecco was chosen to represent the area at the Siena Wine Exhibition. Today, Abele’s grandchildren, Armando and Franco, are following in father Adriano’s footsteps. Both hold degrees in oenology and have refined the family’s art of producing fine spumante wines.

A pitch-perfect aperitif, this bubbly is also just the thing for fun and celebratory fare—think oysters on the half shell, caviar on toasts or strawberries dipped in chocolate. It’s also a primo selection for brunch, as it’s well suited to pastries—particularly focaccia and other breads—and egg dishes. This makes it one of my personal favorites to pair with my Pita Eggs Benedict over Grilled Prosciutto and Olive Oil Hollandaise. I guarantee this combination will solidify your reputation as a master brunch host.

This wine doesn’t just know how to party—it is the party!
