The 2007 Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Primo Franco is a delicious, well-delineated wine. It offers a cream-textured expression of sweet ripe peaches, mint and jasmine in a medium-bodied but rich style. This gorgeous, beautifully balanced wine is another stunning Prosecco from Nino Franco. The Primo Franco has 30 grams per liter residual sugar which contributes to its expansive texture. This is Lot 8112. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
Readers who want to explore Prosecco at its finest should put this estate at the top of their shopping lists. Franco’s NV Prosecco is also worth seeking out and is reviewed in Issue 178.
