This winery is proud to be one of the oldest in Valdobbiadene, located in the town centre, not far away from the countryside and the vineyards. Valdobbiadene is located at the foot of the Prealps, in the Venetian region, and is famous for the Prosecco vine and wine production. The vineyard of ancient origins named ‘Grave di Stecca’, a clos on the slopes at the foot of the Pre-Alpes, is just a few steps from the square of Valdobbiadene. Facing south and partly shielded by a huge garden, this vineyard enjoys a special microclimate. 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.
