THE FAMILY
Passion from generation to generation
Riva dei Frati is located in the heart of Prosecco Superiore where, as early as the 13th century, the Dominican friars of San Nicolò dedicated themselves to the production of fine nectars. Today this unique place is guarded by the Adami Merotto family, which has been combining tradition and innovation for six generations to always guarantee the highest quality products.
