Adele Blanc de Blancs Brut Spumante

Ca' Vescovado 'Adele' Blanc de Blancs Brut

The "Light of the Lagoon" – A Pure Expression of Venetian Chardonnay

The Vibe

While the standard Adele Brut is a complex, long-matured blend, the Blanc de Blancs is the estate’s tribute to elegance and transparency. "Blanc de Blancs" literally translates to "white from whites," meaning this wine is crafted exclusively from white-skinned grapes—in this case, a high-quality selection of Chardonnay and Glera (the Prosecco grape). It’s designed to be sunnier, more floral, and more energetic than its blended siblings. In 2026, it is highly sought after for its "coastal freshness," a byproduct of vineyards sitting just a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea.

The Nose

This wine is all about "high-frequency" aromatics. It feels like walking through an orchard in bloom.

• The Fruit: Bright, crunchy green apple, unripe pineapple, and white nectarine.

• The Florals: Intense notes of acacia blossom and elderflower.

• The Finish: A very clean, breezy scent of sea air and crushed limestone. Unlike the oak-aged styles, this is pure and "naked," with no heavy toast or butter notes.

The Taste

On the palate, it is laser-sharp and crystalline. The bubbles are lively and "dancing," providing a refreshing prickle that keeps the wine feeling light.

• The Profile: You’ll taste lemon zest and crisp pear, followed by a distinct salty-mineral mid-palate.

• The Structure: It’s a Brut, but it leans toward the drier side. The Chardonnay gives it a lovely "vertical" structure (it feels straight and tall on the tongue), while the Glera adds a touch of playful fruitiness to the finish.

📋 Product Specs

Best Paired With:

• The "Coastal" Match: Grilled calamari with lemon, shrimp skewers, or fresh oysters.

• The Light Lunch: A classic Insalata Caprese (tomato and buffalo mozzarella) or a vegetable quiche.

• The Social Hour: Salty snacks like popcorn with truffle salt or light potato crisps.

Pro Tip

In 2026, this wine is best enjoyed while it's young and vibrant—usually within 12–18 months of purchase. It doesn't need air; in fact, it’s best popped and poured immediately. Serve very cold (6–7°C). Because it is a "Blanc de Blancs," it has a natural elegance that makes it a fantastic, budget-friendly alternative to expensive Franciacorta for wedding toasts or celebrations.
