Highlights

100% Glera; non-vintage Prosecco Superiore sourced from all Valdobbiadene sub-communes, bottled January 17, 2024. Fragrant aromas of green apple, pear and honeysuckle lead to a creamy, soft palate of ripe orchard fruits, melon and sweet spices with lively, invigorating acidity and persistent effervescence; finish shows a twang of sour citrus with hints of smoke and candied almonds.

Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco Superiore

#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.

Critical Acclaim

93 Wine Enthusiast

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.

91 Vinous

The NV Prosecco Superiore Rustico wafts up with a remarkably fresh mix of sweet florals, melon and smoke. It washes across the palate with an elegant wave of ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices; a twang of sour citrus adds contrast. There's a slightly tropical feel to the finale, yet savory as well. The Rustico keeps the mouth watering, and hints of candied almonds slowly fade. Anyone looking to take their prosecco game to the next level without breaking the bank, look no further.

90 James Suckling

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.
