CORTE ADAMI SOAVE

The Corte Adami estate was created in 1984 by father and son Angelo and Andrea Adami. The Adami family had cultivated vines in Soave and Valpolicella for generations, supplying grapes to some of the finest producers in the region. In 2004, however, they decided to start making their own wines and, in little more than a decade, they carved out an incredible reputation both at home and abroad for their Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone. Although 75 acres of the estate are planted ( 60 in Soave, the rest in Valpolicella), the family sells all but its very finest grapes so as to be free to make the best possible wines without concession to commercial pressures. This Soave comes from the family vineyard in the rolling hills of the historic cru of Castelcerino, long considered the perfect home for the Garganega grape; it has a rich and fragrant nose of white flowers and citrus and is harmonious on the palate with lively acidity and mineral nuances.
