PROSECCO BRUT 'RUSTICO' NINO FRANCO DESCRIPTION

Nino Franco's Prosecco "Rustico" is a Brut sparkling wine produced with grapes from the native Glera grape variety in purity and made with the Martinotti or Charmat Method. It is a label that expresses in a straightforward and genuine way the best tradition of Prosecco, bringing to the fore and enhancing the pleasantly fruity aromas of the grape, with a lively and creamy froth and a fresh and lively sip. A very drinkable Prosecco, very suitable to enjoy in company at aperitif time or in combination with light and delicate appetizers.

The sparkling wine "Rustico" Nino Franco is made with Glera grapes from vineyards cultivated in the middle and high hills of the classic Prosecco production area. The cool, breezy climate and limestone-clay soils guarantee grapes with intense and elegant aromatic profiles. The grapes are very softly crushed and the free-run juice is transferred to temperature-controlled steel tanks for the classic white vinification of the base wines. Refermentation and second fermentation take place in autoclaves using the Martinotti or Charmat method, which preserves all the varietal aromas of the grapes and their fresh fruity fragrance.

The Nino Franco "Rustico" is the classic goblet to drink in company, capable of giving the typical sensations of good Prosecco. A sparkling wine that makes expressive simplicity, ease of drinking, immediacy and sip balance the winning cards that have decreed its success in the world. The color is bright straw yellow, crossed by a subtle de delicate froth, which makes the sip lively. The bouquet is characterized by scents of white flowers, fruity and citrus aromas. The palate is fresh, with crisp fruit and pleasantly savory finish.
