Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Scents of ripe fruit, aromatic herbs, sage; intense mineral and flint notes. In the mouth, dry but creamy. Persistent, with a touch of toasted almond.

Goes very well with ham, shellfish, fish and chips, shrimp and vegetable tempura.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Here’s a sparkling wine that shows some real complexity. Cherry-blossom and white-peach undertones are married to white pepper and nutmeg. Textured and phenolic on the palate, where the flavors of lemons and tangerines give way to fine bubbles and some pastry undertones.
  • 91
    White spring flowers, Alpine herbs and orange zest mingle with a whiff of bread crust on this crisp sparkler. The linear, racy palate offers yellow apple, pear, Meyer lemon and thyme alongside firm acidity.
  • 90
    A pretty, aromatic version, with a floral overtone and notes of honey and dried apricot riding the fine, creamy mousse. Elegant, lightly juicy and balanced.

Nino Franco, Italy
Nino Franco Winery Video

“Cantine Franco” was founded in Valdobbiadene in 1919 by Antonio Franco, who set out right from the start to make a quality product. One of the oldest wineries in Valdobbiadene, Nino Franco is located in the center of town and close to the countryside. It is surrounded by vineyards of extraordinary beauty, with a special terroir ripe for producing high-quality wines.

The area lies in Veneto, in the hilly strip of the Province of Treviso, that lies between the small towns of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. Throughout its extraordinary history, the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene areas have made Prosecco into an extraordinary success story, creating over the course of time a modern, informal and vivacious Italian-Style sparkling wine that is appreciated and enjoyed all over the world; it gained DOCG recognition in 2009, and represents the top of the quality pyramid for Prosecco.

Valdobbiadene is located in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG production zone at the foot of the Prealps, a mountain range in the south-eastern part of the Alps. This region in the north-eastern part of Italy is most famous for the prized Prosecco vine and wine production because it has the greater concentration of high hillside vineyards. Vines are grown only on the sunniest parts of the hills, at altitudes varying between 50 and 500 meters above sea level, while the north-facing slopes are covered mainly in woodland. The climate throughout the area is mild, with not excessively cold winters with warm summers. The Nino Franco Prosecco produced in the Valdobbiadene area represents a synthesis of history and “naturally” superior quality.  

Thanks to a careful and wise management, the Nino Franco estate has been growing and evolving throughout four generations of producers. Antonio founded it, Nino expanded it and Primo improved the company performance. When Primo took over its management in 1982, it was a turning point for the estate. He became a pioneer of Prosecco, successfully introducing a different sparkling wine than Champagne to International markets. He has been successful thanks to his open-minded personality, his spontaneity, reliability and competence as well as his charm and ability to communicate his love for his work, and his passion to produce the highest quality sparkling wines. Today the winery is still family-owned by Primo and his wife Annalisa, and their daughter Silvia is the next generation responsible for future growth of the estate.
