INTERNATIONAL AWARDS
WINE SPECTATOR - December 2013
• Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rustico (88 POINTS) - “Light-bodied and fresh, with ripe
apple, floral and nut notes”.
WINE REVIEW ON LINE (Michael Franz)
● GRAVE DI STECCA Brut 2010 (93 POINTS) – This is a late-released, thrillingly mineral-drive wine from
stern to stern, though delicate fruit is also perfect in the aromas, flavors and finish. Finished with just 7
grams per liter of sugar, this is close to as intricately complex as a Prosecco can be.
● Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Vigneto della Riva di San Floriano (91 POINTS) – This shows
a gorgeous delicacy in its bouquet as well as a very soft, creamy mouthfeel.
● Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Primo Franco 2012 (92 POINTS) – This wine is so irresistibly
delicious.
● Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rustico (90 POINTS) – A delicate floral note gets this off to
good star aromatically, and the soft, pleasantly sweet mid-palate draws focus from fresh acidity in the
finish.
DECANTER (Richard Baudains) - 2013
• GRAVE DI STECCA Brut 2009 (18 PTS/20) - Delicate, refined nose with intriguing complexity. Floral, with
distinctive lemon peel and pear. Soft, round palate with excellent development and a long finish of
green pears and almonds, with a touch of saltiness at the very end.
DECANTER (Michael Edwards) - 2013
• GRAVE DI STECCA Brut 2010 (18.5 PTS/20) - Brilliant straw hue, gentle bubbles. Lovely scents of sage
and fresh orchard fruits. Silken textured, long multi-faceted finish, complex, a keeper.
JANCISROBINSON.COM - 2013
• Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut (JH, 16.5 PTS/20) – Good intensity and not simple, as
many Proseccos can be.
• GRAVE DI STECCA Brut 2010 (JH, 17 PTS/20) – Highly aromatic...Fine bead, slight grip, very long. Lees
texture seems to add both complexity & freshness. Elegant, mineral citrus, tight and stony.
• Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Primo Franco 2012 (JH, 16.5 PTS/20) – Demi-sec Starts off
with a mineral character but then the sweetness spreads across the palate. Reasonably fresh and
noticeably creamy, with the sweetness coming through on the finish.
• Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rustico (JH, 16 PTS/20) – ...attractively fragrant with
orange blossom & just a little bit grapey. Creamy on the palate. Really very aromatic.
• Valdobbiadene Prosecco SUPERIORE DI CARTIZZE DOCG 2013 (JH, 17 PTS/20) – Ripe, almost
tropical fruit. Mango even. Rich, soft, good depth & intensity...very good in this particular style. I'd
like to see how this develops in bottle.
• Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG VIGNETO DELLA RIVA DI SAN FLORIANO 2010 (JH, 16.5
PTS/20) - A single vineyard in the middle of Valdobbiadene, old vines on calcareous soil, steep
slope...with notes of yellow fruit, plus a touch of apricot & ginger.

INDEPENDENT WINE REVIEW - 2013
GRAVE DI STECCA Brut 2010 (90 POINTS) - It’s rare that Prosecco produces such distinctive wine and
this 2010 Nino Franco “Grave di Stecca” Brut achieves an enviably high score for this and its overall
persistence and balance.
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rustico (89 POINTS) - An excellent non-vintage Prosecco that
belies an “entry level” billing, it says much for Primo Franco’s winemaking philosophy that this is the
lowest quality that he is prepared to accept.
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG VIGNETO DELLA RIVA DI SAN FLORIANO 2010 (93 POINTS) This 2010 Nino Franco “Riva di San Floriano” Prosecco is an astonishingly good Prosecco and a true
endorsement of more than thirty years work
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut (87 POINTS) - An impressive Prosecco that will divide
opinion with a (slightly) drier style.
Rosè Brut FAIVE 2011 (87 POINTS) - A classy and well crafted wine, this “Faìve” Rosé is both
characterful and impressive
WINE &SPIRITS - 2013
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG VIGNETO DELLA RIVA DI SAN FLORIANO 2012 (90 POINTS) “Savory scents of wheat germ and peppery spice balance this wine’s pineapple richness, all held in a
lean frame. It ends firm, with dark earth tones adding a pleasant touch of bitterness. Serve it with
prosciutto.”
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rustico (88 POINTS) - “Light-bodied and fresh, with a hint of
smoky mineral supporting subtle ripe apple, floral and nut notes. Drink now”.
Rosè Brut FAIVE 2011 (88 POINTS) - “More red than rosé, this has the dark flavor of pomegranate and a
black, slightly rubbery edge. There’s something oddly refreshing in it, a quirky rosé to chill for the beach,
to serve with grilled shellfish.”.
WINE &SPIRITS - August 2012
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rustico (90 POINTS) - “The gold colour and peach nectar
scent predict this to be rich, but a potent, nutty savor keeps it balanced. It finishes clean, tight and
grippy- a mouthwatering aperitif”
WINE ADVOCATE - Robert Parker-February 2012, ISSUE 199
Grave di Stecca Brut 2009 (89 POINTS) - “…flows with apricots, yellow peaches and sweet spices. The
Grave di Stecca is made in a style that seeks considerable textural richness…”
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Primo Franco 2010 (91 POINTS) - “…laced with white
peaches, flowers and sweet spices. It possesses an excellent energy and focus all the way through to the
creamy finish, where the wine blossoms nicely. This is first- rate juice…”
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Vigneto della Riva di San Floriano 2010
(90 POINTS) - “…layered with subtle hints of earthiness, smoke, yellow peaches and licorice. There is an
understated richness that is hard to fully describe. This is far from an easygoing Prosecco, rather it is a
wine loaded with character and personality. The finish is dry, bracing and totally inviting…”
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut (88 POINTS) - “…attracting entry level offering. There is
plenty of energy and focus to match the wine’s supple, approachable personality. This tasty Prosecco
makes for an excellent introduction to the wines of Nino Franco…”
