Nino Franco, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG (Veneto, Italy) 2016

 From a parcel of the Col del Vent vineyard, the Nodi is Nino Franco’s newest Prosecco.  100 percent Glera, the 2016 is its second vintage, and it is a true prestige cuvée.   It is very concentrated, with the grapes from very old vines.  It has aromas and flavors that linger on the palate.  For me, Franco’s Nodi was the standout Prosecco of the tasting, just magnificent!
