Adami Col Fondo Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Nature 2023

Being Brut Nature and aged sur lie sets Col Fondo apart in Prosecco terms: bone dry, gently cloudy and carrying oodles of leesy character. Adami bottles it unfiltered on its natural deposit, reviving an older Valdobbiadene tradition that predates the modern, polished style. Apple skin, citrus pith and nutty savouriness take the lead over fruitiness, giving a brisk, vinous, faintly rustic feel. It's an approach that has caught the eye of critics such as Jancis Robinson, and one that shows Adami is as assured in heritage as in refinement.

Best with food - cured meats, aged cheeses or fried seafood - where its savoury dryness proves most compelling.
