Nino Franco Rustico Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG

Established in 1919, Nino Franco is recognised as among the oldest wineries in Valdobbiadene, the heart and soul of Prosecco production in Italy. Rustico captures the joyful essence of the grape, while delivering layered flavours including a degree of complexity typical of the Prosecco Superiore quality level. Plenty of driving bubbly persistence in this wine which was fermented, including a second fermentation (Charmat style with carbonation), in stainless steel tanks. Citrus bright aromas mix with honeysuckle, lemongrass, fresh apples. Citrus notes flow though on the palate, too, with a touch of savouriness bringing added depth. Palate texture is supple and creamy with bright acidity and good length. A little more sophisticated than many of the usual Charmat-style Proseccos.
