Nino Franco Brut Prosecco Superiore – Review

This is “POP or FLOP”, where we taste test sparkling wines so you don’t have to! This week we’re sipping Nino Franco Brut Prosecco Superiore! Now, that’s a mouthful of a name, eh? 😁 Nino Franco’s Prosecco is recognized by many in the wine world and hails from Valdobbiadene in Treviso, a stone’s throw away from Venice. Nino Franco has also been instrumental in promoting this wine style, which we all know and love! So, without further ado… is this a bottle of bubbles you should POP? 💁 Or is it a FLOP? 🙅 Let’s see…

Founded in 1919, Nino Franco is a legend in the Prosecco world and a large producer whose wines are available across the globe. In 2016, we were lucky enough to have a private tasting arranged at Nino Franco’s Winery with Primo Franco, a third generation wine maker, and a real “Prosecco-lebrity”! Primo was a charming, charismatic and commanding guy, who was curious about two guys from Toronto touring the “Prosecco Road” (…we’re the Sparkling Winos, isn’t that reason enough?). In all seriousness, it was a pleasure to taste Nino Franco’s wines, including the Brut Prosecco Superiore, so close to the “birthplace” of a sparkling wine phenomenon (read all about our visit here!). So, how does the Nino Franco Brut Prosecco Superiore stack up to all the other Prosecco’s out there? Read on to find out!
