Made entirely from Glera, it brings together components from Rustico, Riva and Grave di Stecca, drawing on vineyards across the steep hills of Valdobbiadene to combine freshness, site character and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base wines are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and blended before the second fermentation in pressurised tanks. Finished at around 11 grams per litre of residual sugar, the wine sits comfortably in the Brut category, balancing crisp acidity with a rounded, creamy texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear straw yellow, with a fine and persistent bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh pear, green apple and acacia blossom are joined by lemon zest and a subtle stony note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright yet gently creamy, with orchard fruit, citrus and delicate floral flavours carried by finely textured bubbles.

By combining three distinctive Nino Franco expressions, Primo Brut was conceived to offer immediate freshness and charm with greater breadth than a conventional sparkling cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNino Franco was founded by Antonio Franco in 1919. Primo Franco, the third generation, shifted the estate’s focus entirely towards Prosecco and helped bring quality-led Valdobbiadene wines into leading restaurants internationally; Silvia Franco now continues that family story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nino Franco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7849040379964,"sku":"NFPRIMOBRUT","price":19.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/Nino-Franco-PrimoBrutProseccoSpumanteNV_6f23e26f-ace7-4f1b-bd81-5c1c9d87eeea.png?v=1731771608","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/nino-franco-primo-brut-spumante-nv","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
