Franconia

Franconia (IGT Veneto Orientale) – Moletto

Distinct local character, refined craft.
Franconia is an intriguing red varietal with Austrian roots (also known as Blaufränkisch), which Moletto has cultivated in its Treviso vineyards for decades. 
This bottling expresses the variety’s unique personality within Veneto’s terrain — robust yet elegant, regional yet refined.

Tasting Experience
In the glass you’ll see a bright ruby-red colour.  On the nose: vibrant aromas of red berries (currant, cherry) and spices, defining the varietal’s signature. On the palate: full-bodied, well-rounded, dry, with smooth tannins, offering both richness and a refreshing edge. 

Serving & Pairing
Serve at 18-20 °C (64-68 °F) to fully release the aromas and textures. It pairs excellently with:

• Meat antipasti and charcuterie

• Pasta in spicy sauces

• Spit-roasted or grilled white meats

• Even some fish dishes with bold flavour 

Why You’ll Love It
Because Franconia is rare in Italy and Moletto’s version is a standout example of how the varietal thrives in Veneto. It offers a unique taste profile you won’t find with more common grapes — red fruit, spice, smooth structure — making it a great choice for wine lovers looking for something distinctive and regionally rooted.
