Antonio Franco founded the “Cantine Franco” winery in Valdobbiadene in 1919. Valdobbiadene is located at the foot of the Prealps in the Venetian region and is famous for the Prosecco vine and wine production.

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. Thanks to a careful and wise management, the estate has been growing and evolving throughout three generations of producers. Antonio founded it, Nino expanded it and Primo improved the company performance throughout the years. 1982, when Primo took over its management, was the turning point.

Colour: Straw coloured, bright.
Flavour: Fruity and flowery, evident notes of Williams pear and white flowers.
Taste: On the palate, soft texture; delicate and crystal like.
Matching: Finger food, tapas, light hors d’oeuvre and delicate dishes.

"Showing a light golden color, the NV Valdobiaddene Prosecco Superiore Rustico Brut is steely, dry and tonic with lots of tart lime, unripe peach and white flower. This perky bubbly makes good use of its Brut designation with tight, spicy beading and a very direct or immediate delivery. This is an ambitious and well-priced production. Drink to 2024."
88 points.
