Rustico Nino Franco Prosecco NV

Prosecco is proving more and more popular and this one is what they term ‘Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG’, meaning it is very much top of the tree. Hand-harvested, it is a vibrant aperitif style, which has picked up plenty of wine bling around the world. This is deep straw in colour with an appealing nose of lemon and limes, crisp green apple notes, florals notably jasmine, a hint of glacéd fruit and the slightest touch of a complex hessian note. It is bright and clean, balanced and with decent length. Attractive now, it should drink well over the next few years.
