“Nodi” Prosecco Spumante di Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG 2019 brut
The noble Nodi captivates with its elegance and restraint. Delicate scent of wisteria, flint and roses, plus fruity notes of pear, gooseberry and lime. On the palate, a fine, discreet perlage, here too a fresh note of lime, peach and white fruits in combination with the well-dosed acidity ensures a piquant and crisp taste experience. For us, the perfect aperitif and, with just 6g of residual sugar, the first choice as an accompaniment to seafood. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliantly shining lemon yellow. At first restrained on the nose, then on ripe pineapple, mango and apricots, acacia honey in the background. Stretches out a wide dress on the palate, taut, yet remains elegant, shows polish, with a compact fruit core, tension-filled into the long finish." Falstaff
"Yellow-apple and lemon base with hints of papaya and green cardamom. This quite exotic mix gives an interesting flavor profile, too. Subtle, relaxed mousse and a fresh, dry finish. Quite a salty aftertaste." James Suckling
"Aromas of fragrant spring flowers and orchard fruits lead the nose. On the compelling palate, rather fresh acidity and an elegant perlage accompany ripe pear, peach and a hint of lemon drop candy." Wine Enthusiast
"When Nino Franco discovered the Col del Vent vineyard in 2014, he said it was like taking a step back in time. He found the tiny plot above Valdobbiadene hosted, in excellent health, 100-year-old vines of biotypes of Glera that have long since been replaced in the region by modern clonal selections. The following year, with the help of master pruner Marco Simonit (consultant among others to Yquem, Latour and Roederer), he produced the first wine from the vineyard. He named it Nodi, or ‘knots’, referring to the gnarled trunks of the ancient vines. The 2019 has aromas of herbs, spring flowers and white fruit, a distinct mineral nuance and a crisply incisive palate of extraordinary length and crystalline purity. A wine of great finesse." Decanter

Primo Franco has always been very interested in architecture. Fortunately for the wine lovers, however, he has chosen a completely different professional path. As a producer of high-class sparkling wines, however, the manager of the small winery Nino Franco has retained the joy of clear lines to this day, as the octagonal office building also proves. Primo had the great idea in the 1970s to devote himself practically entirely to the production of Prosecco in various variations. From 1982 onwards, he even succeeded in advancing to the highest Italian wine league with the family business Valdobbiadene, now almost one hundred years old and situated in the heart of the enchanting municipality of Valdobbiadene on the edge of the foothills of the Alps. The international reputation of the house, founded by Nino Franco's father Antonio, has continued to grow despite high-class competition. The top ambassador of Prosecco from the Venetian province of Treviso has remained true to his style: To produce fresh and uncomplicated sparkling wines, which clearly differ from everyday products in their quality. His wife Anneliese and daughter Silvia actively support Primo Franco in his work.
Nino and Primo, descendants of their ancestor, gradually expanded the company located in Via Garibaldi in order to increase production capacity. In the course of time a lot of money was invested in modern facilities. Wines untypical for the region have been removed from the bottle rack. The estate has always carried out experiments aimed at reducing human intervention in the cellar, but also at highlighting the character of the Glera grape variety and the prestige of the area. As sales manager, Primo had even travelled spontaneously through South America and the Far East in earlier years to present his latest products in a charming and competent manner far away from home. Today, the annual production of more than one million bottles is ensured by numerous reliable grape suppliers who are looked after all year round. Otherwise, the proportion of fruit from their own vineyards would only be sufficient for the top products of the Prosecco House.
With their brown and red layers, the stony and calcareous soils of the Veneto offer extremely favourable growing conditions for the Glera vine. The light and plain Prosecchi produced by Primo Franco do not bend to traditional rules, but are above all an expression of his personality. They have a high recognition value and ideally have an intense, luxuriant fruity note. Ratings of important wine critics testify to the high level of the noble foamers. SUPERIORE.DE
"Readers who want to discover Prosecco in best quality should put this good at the top of their shopping lists."Robert Parker
"Primo Franco's company has a special position in Prosecco because it can represent the historical bubbles of Valdobbiadene all over the world, although it is completely different from the others. The originality also lies in the fact that the otherwise most common Extra Dry is not available in the range."Gambero Rosso
