Our take
What we make of this bottle
This is a sparkling wine from the Prosecco DOC, made from Glera. If you are setting a table and want bubbles for the toast or the first pour, this is a sparkling one to consider. The Prosecco consortium describes the category as floral and fruity, with a fresh taste and a straw yellow color, and notes that the sweetness level on the label, from Brut Nature through Demi-sec, tells how dry the wine is.
Nino Franco says the winery was founded in 1919 by Antonio Franco in Valdobbiadene and has stayed with the family for four generations. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. In September 2026, the price we saw was $24.99.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know Prosecco DOC.
Judge it as Prosecco: a Glera-led, tank-fermented sparkling wine built around freshness and fruit, not as an inexpensive imitation of bottle-fermented Champagne.
What the name means
A controlled denomination since 2009 covering specified provinces in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
How grapes grow here
The DOC crosses plains and hills in northeastern Italy; the broad designation does not identify one village or exposure.
What lies under the vines
Alluvial, clay-loam and hill soils occur across the zone; the base DOC alone is not a single-soil claim.
How large the region is
- Method
- The Martinotti–Charmat method carries out secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks to preserve fruit and floral character.
Places within the region
- Grape rule
- Glera is the base; permitted grapes may contribute up to 15%.
Getting to know Glera.
Glera is the white grape behind Prosecco. The Prosecco consortium lists Glera as the traditional variety, and a short list of other permitted grapes may be used up to 15 percent in total.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
The consortium describes floral and fruity character, a fresh taste and a straw yellow color across the category. Most bottles are sparkling or semi-sparkling, and the labeled sweetness level, from Brut Nature through Demi-sec, tells you how dry the wine is.
