When Nino Franco discovered the Col del Vent vineyard in 2014, it was like a step back in time for him. He realised that the tiny plot above Valdobbiadene was home to 100-year-old vines of Glera biotypes that had long since been replaced by modern clonal selections in the region and were in an excellent state of health. The following year, with the help of Marco Simonit, a master of pruning (consultant to Yquem, Latour and Roederer), he produced the first wine from this vineyard. He called it Nodi (knot) in reference to the gnarled trunks of the old vines.

The noble Nodi impresses with its elegance and finesse and is always sold a good two years later. Delicate aromas of wisteria, flint and roses, with fruity notes of pear, gooseberry and lime. A fine, subtle perlage on the palate, with fresh notes of lime, peach and white fruit in combination with well-balanced acidity for a zesty and crisp flavour experience. For us, the perfect aperitif and, with just 6g of residual sugar, the first choice as an accompaniment to seafood. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, radiant straw yellow with a persistent, fine-grained perlage. Hints of white pepper, nutmeg, candied fruit and floral notes on the nose. On the palate with mouth-filling mousseux, electrifying acidity and a gentle lingering finish." Falstaff

"Straw yellow with silver-coloured reflections, persistent, fine perlage. Grapefruit and lemon on the nose, green apple and a hint of elderflower. Animating and straightforward on the palate, precise, refreshing acidity, lingering, salty final, great drinking pleasure." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2022 Extra Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Nodi is delicate in the glass, offering an airy mix of stone dust and dried flowers that complement the peach sorbet. The palate is soothed and energised by its crisp, mineral character, brilliant acidity and ripe orchard fruit. The 2022 leaves a hint of spice and a green apple aftertaste and finishes long with pleasant tension." Vinous
