Angelo and Andrea Adami come from a long line of vine growers in Soave and Valpolicella, with their families’ grapes highly prized by the region’s top producers. But in 2004, they decided to take things into their own hands, launching Corte Adami and crafting wines that truly showcase their exceptional terroir.
The Wine
Their Soave vineyard, in the Castelcerino cru, sits on volcanic soils—perfect for growing the indigenous Garganega grape. Just a few kilometers west, their Valpolicella vineyard is home to classic varieties like Corvina, Corvinone, Molinara, and Rondinella, forming the backbone of their Valpolicella and Amarone wines.
At Corte Adami, they use a meticulous passito (drying) process, where grapes are carefully laid out on trays over the winter, slowly drying for about three months. This natural dehydration concentrates the sugars, acidity, and flavours, giving their wines incredible depth and intensity. The same technique is used for both red and white grapes, producing everything from the bold Amarone to the beautifully sweet Recioto di Soave.
