Nino Franco, Grave di Stecca, Valdobbiadene Brut 2010
18/20pts (93/100pts)
Huge complexity on the nose with notes of honey, mint, thyme and fresh hay. There is a similarly evolved, mellow character on the palate, but with an underlying mineral freshness that gives life and length to a finish of rare concentration.

little austere, very pure. Old vines length and concentration on the finish. Great personality.
