Prosecco DOC Rustico Nino Franco Magnum 150 cl

Description

History

The Franco cellars were founded in Valdobbiadene in 1919 thanks to Antonio Franco, with the aim of creating a high quality sparkling wine. His son Nino will expand the company almost to today’s volumes but it will be Nino’s son, Primo, who will set up the corporate structure as that of a modern company. Graduated from the Conegliano Veneto school of oenology, Primo will focus on production control from the earliest stages. He has always been supported by his wife Annalisa and daughter Silvia who today takes care with him of making decisions regarding production, strategies and commercial decisions.

Grapes used

Glera 100%

Production method

The Glera grapes are harvested by hand, immediately pressed and destemmed, and then fermented in steel at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation instead takes place in an autoclave according to the dictates of the charmat method. After bottling, the wine ages for 30 days in the cellar.

Alcohol degree

11%

Tasting notes

Crystalline straw yellow color, with fine perlage. On the nose notes of Williams pear, apricot and peach, rose petals and white flowers, with a hint of spice. Creamy on the palate, with fine and pleasant effervescence and a nice final freshness.

Possible combinations

Rustico by Nino Franco is excellent for a toast in the company of special people or for an aperitif, especially on a warm summer or spring evening. Very good with fresh and creamy cheeses, cured meats or delicate first courses; also ideal with delicate fish dishes or fish crudités.
