“I sincerely thank all the members of the Consorzio for the trust placed in me. I will work with dedication and passion to support and promote our Appellation, strengthen collaboration among our producers, and protect our Rive.

Adami is no stranger to leadership within the Consorzio, having previously served as president from 2002 to 2011. The election of vice presidents will be conducted at an upcoming board meeting.

The Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a protected wine area located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. As the heart of Prosecco’s premium expression, the denomination was officially recognised in 1969. Sparkling wines from this region are designated as Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, reflecting their quality, restricted vineyard area and production criteria.
