PROSECCO BRUT "RUSTICO" NINO FRANCO

Cantine Franco was born in Valdobbiadene in 1919 thanks to Antonio, who has aimed from the very beginning to create a quality product. With his son Nino, who continues his father's tradition, the company grows, consolidates and expands. But it is Primo, first with his father Nino and then alone, who gives the cellar a modern setting. From the moment he joins the company, after graduating from the Conegliano Veneto school of oenology, Primo focuses his work on a precise quality model learned during his numerous travel and study experiences. At the beginning of the nineties, supported by the belief that a good wine is obtained by controlling production from the beginning, Primo takes over a vineyard where he experiments with new planting techniques and the use of old clones. In the meantime, he continues his close collaboration with local winemakers in order to develop his idea of ​​enhancing this grape variety.

The “Rustico” Prosecco by Nino Franco is a Brut sparkling wine produced with 100% grapes from the native Glera vine. The winemaking technique develops through pressing, destemming, cooling of the must and fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Subsequent refermentation in autoclave. After bottling, it stays in the cellar for 30 days.

It has a bright straw yellow color. Fruity and floral fragrances stand out on the nose, with notes of Williams pear and white flowers. Soft, crystalline and delicate texture on the palate. Ideal for an aperitif as an accompaniment to finger food and "cicchetti" or for light appetizers and delicate dishes.
