Nino Franco

Rustico is the bestseller by Nino Franco. Brilliant silver green. Fresh scent of apple, white blossoms and cut grass, on the palate of tart coolness and well nuanced fruit and with a delicate melting. A stylish and very sociable all-rounder at a high level! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, light greenish yellow with fine, persistent perlage. Fragrant and fresh nose with notes of hawthorn blossom, fresh, crisp apple, some banana in the background. Salty on the nose, shows good tension, fresh apple on the final." Falstaff

The frothy classic from Italy's leading Prosecco winery. Radiant in the glass, with the scent of white blossoms and fruits, exceedingly fine and elegant in taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Radiant, brilliant silver-grey with persistent perlage. Fragrant and expressive nose, of jasmine, acacia flowers, then on the palate of fresh honey and some yellow peach, stretches very well over the tongue, fruit-sweet and precise." Falstaff

"Enticing nose of lemon, apple and fresh mint, following though to a lively, frothy palate with intense flavor and a hint of honeyed lemon coming through on the finish. Leaves you with fresh sea salt." James Suckling

"A lovely sparkler, this has delicate aromas of white spring flowers, white stone fruits and botanical herbs. On the elegantly foaming palate, fresh acidity lifts creamy white peach, ripe yellow pear and a hint of hazelnut." Wine Enthusiast

Primo Franco is an elegant, very select vintage Prosecco Superiore from the heart of the DOCG cultivation area. Fine perlage in a clear straw yellow, very pleasantly scented with pear and sandy biscuits, it literally melts on the tongue with fine-subtle fruit sweetness and freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, light greenish yellow, somewhat restrained perlage. Smells of tangerine and lemon, crisp red apple, some camomile. Round and balanced on the palate, spreads out continuously, subtle salty notes in the back, good tension and fullness." Falstaff

A distinctly sophisticated, delicately floral Prosecco, appetising walnut aroma and hints of white fruits. An incredibly creamy texture on the palate, elegant, long and balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, light yellow-green, lots of fine, persistent perlage. Opens on the nose with notes of tree-ripened apple, some jasmine blossom, followed by delicate tangerine. Round and creamy in the attack and course, shows fine ripe fruit notes, discreet salty notes in the final." Falstaff

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

Beautiful Prosecco Cartizze from the vineyard of the same name, smells fresh of pineapple and citrus fruits. Creamy texture on the palate, finely balanced taste, elegant, long and harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE
