This lovely sparkler never disappoints. It's fragrant, with delicate scents of white spring flowers and white stone fruits while the dry, refreshing palate offers ripe pear, apple and white peach alongside a hint of fennel seed. An elegant perlage and fresh acidity provide the backdrop.
James Suckling: 92 PointsA very well-made Prosecco with a fresh and pure nose, showing peaches, flowers, melon and a mineral undertone. Creamy with lively froth, carrying the refreshing and green citrus and apple flavors through to the end.
#1 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Wines of 2019
Made in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG zone, Nino Franco’s Rustico Prosecco Superiore 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.
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.
Pair with charcuterie, risotto, vegetables, seafood and delicate pasta dishes.
Prosecco, originating from the Veneto region in Italy, is a sparkling wine renowned for its effervescence and approachable character, predominantly crafted from the Glera grape variety, occasionally complemented by other permitted grape varieties. Produced using the Charmat method, where the secondary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, Prosecco is known for its vibrant bubbles, crisp acidity, and a delightful array of flavors ranging from green apple and pear to floral and citrus notes. This versatile sparkling wine has gained international popularity, becoming a symbol of casual elegance and a go-to choice for celebrations, aperitifs, and festive gatherings.
