From the August 31, 2017 issue of Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Nino Franco 2012 Grave di Stecca Brut
88 POINTS
“The 2012 Grave di Stecca Brut is a luminous and beautifully transparent sparkling wine packaged in a clear glass bottle. This wine just begs for a hot summer afternoon on the terrace. It is a refreshing sparkling wine in both spirit and substance. The bouquet is dry and mild in aromatic intensity with citrus and dried mineral. What it lacks in exuberance it makes for in streamlined elegance.” – Monica Larner
