About Nino Franco
To make good wine, one must think like a sculptor looking at a block of rough stone.
He sees the veins running through the material, sensing the possibility of creating a piece of art, even before starting to work on it.
Nino Franco writes the first chapters of a fundamental biography with steadfast curiosity: the story of Valdobbiadene Prosecco in the most important international kitchens. From the production of the first vintage Prosecco in 1983 to the creation of a cocktail list for the Mayfair Regent Hotel in New York, Primo and Silvia bring a wine with a unique character to the world, one that is shaped by the encounter between architecture and nouvelle cuisine, between pleasure and culture.
These are wines that form a cloud in the glass when poured, just as Gualtiero Marchesi wanted. Sparkling wines with a personality similar to white pepper and an aromatic profile that recalls a fruit basket by Caravaggio. But most importantly, these are wines that are strongly rooted to their territory of origin, Valdobbiadene, where Nino Franco separately vinifies each single plot, «chiseling» sparkling wines that are the authentic expression of the territory. A production process that reached its culmination with the acquisition of Villa Barberina and the vinification of a remarkable single vineyard wine, Grave di Stecca: this is how the clos of Valdobbiadene was born.
A Prosecco that knows how to be a wine before being Prosecco. One that continues to be a wine after it has ceased to be a Prosecco. A democratic luxury, an ode to pleasure and to the culture of all that’s good. One that, after years of aging in the bottle, evolves into a profound tribute to the hills and soils of Valdobbiadene.
