The meaning of the name is "iced dwarf", it's not an offensive terminology for a drink, and it should be consumed very cold. Also, the wine contained in the "Nano Giacciato" isn't for sure made by Prosecco's grapes (that has a very different taste) but with other type of grapes (I suppose low cost ones - the label on the bottle doesn't mention them).

Interesting cultural snippet - seems we could have all been talking about fernanodo-technology if things had played out differently... :-) Thanks Oscar.

Although, and I am just making an assumption here and knowing the Italians and their slight arrogance about their spirits, they might be referring to a different thing when naming this wine Nano, which is a diminutive or rather a nickname given to some people named Fernando. Nevertheless, the connection seems incredibly valid. Great stuff, her voice does make the advert work I think. This is fantastic.
