Nino Franco - Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Rustico NV

"Rustico" is just off-dry and opens with a firm bubble and crisp acidity. Light aromas of banana on the nose lead to fresh pear on the palate. It finishes clean and works well as an aperitif or matches with lighter hors-d'ouevres, salads, and light seafoods. Also great for brunches mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with peach juice to make the "Bellini Cocktail."

" Aromas of white spring flower, Bartlett pear and citrus waft out of the glass. The racy, refreshing palate is full of energy, offering crisp yellow-apple, lemon drop and orange zest flavors balanced by vibrant acidity. A perlage of small, refined and continuous bubbles provides the silky backdrop. "
