Intro: Nino Franco was founded in 1919 by Antonio Franco in Valdobbiadene. The winery is located at the foot of the Prealps, in the Venetian region and proud to be one of the oldest wineries in Valdobbiadene. Known for their Prosecco vine, the estate has been growing and evolving throughout four generations of producers. Antonio founded it, Nino expanded it, Primo improved international distribution and today, Silvia Franco is the future of the brand.

Description: A single-vineyard Prosecco made exclusively from Nino Franco’s estate vineyard, Grave di Stecca is located in Valdobbiadene, on the slopes of the Prealps, just near the town center. The vineyard, exposed to the south and partially screened by a large park, enjoys a particular and untraditional micro-climate. The front label on the wine symbolizes not only the heart of the winery but the heart that quickly pounds when one does something passionately.

Vinification: The grapes, 100% Glera (traditionally called Prosecco) are sourced exclusively from ancient origin vineyard, named "Grave di Stecca", a clos on the slopes of the Prealpi, just near the town center.

Brut - Charmat method - Obtained by the second fermentation in “cuve close”.

Flavours: Delicious sage bouquet, with fresh fruit scents. A very pleasant dry taste at the beginning, followed by a growing silky fruit bouquet.

Food Pairings: Perfect as an aperitif, but also suitable throughout the meal. Certainly a Brut to be enjoyed. Serving Temperature: 6° - 8° C.
