WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
#1 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Wines of 2019
Made in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG zone, Nino Franco’s Rustico Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is unquestionably the world’s finest value in a high-quality sparkling wine. Made from 100% Glera (traditionally called Prosecco), the non-vintage, light-bodied Rustico offers gorgeously elegant notes of pear, citrus and honeysuckle. The texture is creamy, soft and delicate with persistent effervescence. A sparkling wine whose fresh and immediate drink combined with an excellent floral bouquet. Pair Nino Franco Rustico with charcuterie, risotto, vegetables, seafood and delicate pasta dishes.
The word ‘Rustico’ dates back to an old winemaking tradition where Prosecco was made using a short second fermentation in the bottle and leaving the sediments in the wine. Although no longer the technique, the name ‘Rustico’ has remained as a reflection of quality and tradition.
TASTING NOTES:
This wine sings with fragrant aromas of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus. Its palate reveals a refreshing character, featuring vibrant fruit flavors and a lively, invigorating acidity, offering a taste that transports you to an orchard, surrounded by the sweet scents of ripening fruit.

The NV Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rustico delights the nose with chamomile and mint, leading to candied apples and sweet melon. It feels silken and creamy, with a pretty inner sweetness and cooling acidity that adds a lovely lift. It tapers off perfumed, leaving a hint of confectionary lime that lingers. (Lot# 24.292 – Bottling date: October 17, 2024)

The vintage is on the cork for internal purposes: 2022. This cuvee was bottled on January 17, 2024. It’s made from all the sub-communes of Valdobbiadene. No extra dry here. Alpine scents are strong and compact, avoiding the cold fermentation notes of so many. Excellent Prosecco.
