Nino Franco Spumanti

Nodi

Italy, Veneto

2022

A refreshingly direct Prosecco from Nino Franco Spumanti. Classic, youthful bouquet shows delicate pear, peach and pistachio nut aromas. Gentle acidity gives freshness, elegant perlage is fine and creates a sense of creaminess. This is a beautifully restrained, thoughtful Prosecco from a century old single vineyard. The perfect aperitif wine.

"Nodi" refers to the knots of the vine stocks that yield this single-vineyard Prosecco. With more than a hundred years of age and belonging to clones that have long been planted, these stocks are now propagated directly in the vineyard through grafting. The name also refers to the "knots" of the wind that constantly caresses the rows. It is a very elegant, velvety, and characteristic Prosecco that is tightly linked to the noblest and gentlest expression of Glera.

Tasting
NOTES

Refreshingly straightforward; subtle nose displays delicate pear, peach and pistachio nut aromas. Gentle acidity gives freshness, elegant perlage is fine and creates a sense of creaminess. Soft aromatics carry through on the palate with tension and concentration. A pleasing aperitif wine, not too lush, but animated.
