The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut “Col Credas - Rive di Farra di Soligo” 2022 Magnum - Adami is a high-quality sparkling wine originating from the heart of the Valdobbiadene hills, one of the world's most renowned areas for Prosecco production.

The term "Col Credas" refers to the local place name Credazzo, a hilly area in the municipality of Farra di Soligo characterized by clay-rich soils ("creda" in dialect) and steep slopes that necessitate heroic, careful, and meticulous viticulture. This sparkling wine represents the most authentic soul of the Brut style: dry, vertical, and elegant.

Vintage details

The 2022 vintage was characterized by a regular season, with warm and breezy days and a perfect balance between spring rains and summer ripening. The Glera grapes, hand-picked on the “Rive” of Farra di Soligo, reached optimal ripeness, yielding a wine with pronounced freshness and intense aroma.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, the grapes are softly pressed to preserve the fruit's fragrance. Primary fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperatures, while the secondary fermentation occurs in autoclaves according to the Charmat method, with approximately 3 months of aging on the lees. This process results in fine and persistent bubbles and maintains the aromatic purity of the grape variety.
