Nino Franco, Rustico, Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore Prosecco

Just okay. Not much going on here. Best for Mimosas?!

An excellent Prosecco. Enjoyed at Slate at Blair Hill Inn

Better than the last time sampling with floral, lemon, spice and pear. Medium finish and very pleasant. Would buy.

Love this. Everything I want in a prosecco.

Always delivers a solid QPR, with great minerality in the forefront.

Just fine, nothing not to like.

Two more great bottles of L 22076. White fruits, floral aromas, firm acifdity and a hint of roundness. Good with food or as an apertivo. Excellent QPR.

Crystal Cruises complimentary wines; 1/31/2025-2/1/2025 (Crystal Serenity - South America) : [bottle code L24241] pale lemon colour. expressive and finessed sparkler with distinctive aromas and flavours of lemon, apple and pear laced with subtle herbal, floral, red berry and toast whiffs. dry, with delicate mousse and seemingly light body in mouth, precise lemony acidity layers the flavours for a playful see-sawing of the sweet to tart balance. very good length with a pithy streak. very well made, easy-drinking but subtly …

Another fine bottle of L 22076, it continues to be my favorite entry-level Prosecco from among the high-end producers. White fruits, stone fruits, just a hint of roundness. Good QPR.

This is like what a mimosa is trying to recreate- perfectly balanced fresh orange juice with plenty of minerals on the finish. Absolutely the best morning drink. A++

used for Screwdrivers

still the best I've ever tasted -- good acidity, tons of fruit, nice effervescence. What's not to like?

Notes of fresh baguette, kiwi, hay, and chamomile. Quite refreshing and foamy, almost like cracking open a cold beer. The wine leads with those breadier notes and then finishes with a kiwi-like acidity, just a very pleasant companion for risotto.

Another fine release of Rustico, this bottle (L22076) is consistent with previous versions and a good choice for drinking on its own, with or without food. White fruits, flowers, firm and sappy, but with a nice chalky character. It's a wine that can handle food on its own, not just as an apertivo. Excellent QPR.

Per Binny’s: Wine Enthusiast rated this a 94 and a #1 ranking prosecco 12/2019

This was a lovely surprise for someone who does not typically enjoy Prosecco. A definitive step up from your average bottle, the extra brioche-y notes and balanced acidity and sweetness made this a perfect pick for a group with a wide variety of wine experience and preferences.

Straw, pale yellow in colour with a clear rim. Citrusy and fruit forward on the nose - lemons, white peaches, pears, and green apples. Fruit forward on the palate with notes similar to the nose, with the pears, green apples, and lemons being very prominent. Fresh and lively with good acidity, with a slight bitterness towards finish. Not a bad everyday prosecco; finish does fall a bit short and is overall a bit one dimensional.

WSET3 Course Notes; 4/28/2024-6/2/2024 (WineHouse, Los Angeles) : A: Frothy rim. Lemon-green colour. N: Medium+ intensity. White blossoms, acacia, very nice peach, yellow pear, and lemon. River rocks. Really pretty. Youthful. P: Maybe off-dry. Medium acidity and alcohol. Frorthy in the mouth as well. Lemon, white flowers, and some pear. Medium and bitter finish. AQ: Good. 8/18 Drink now, no potential for ageing.

The wine looks straw colored. It smells like lemon, lime, gooseberry, apple and pear. It tastes like lemon, lime, grapefruit, apple, peach and pear. The body is light/medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

Very nicely structured Prosecco. Okay acidity. Strong minerality. Tastes of apples, lemon, brioche, and a touch of honey. Very tasty.

Steely dry and serious. Superior stuff. More bottle age would lift the score.

Very nice. Smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. And all at an amazing price.

Perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Frizzante, rich and harmonious, apples and pears, perfect acidity/fruit balance. our favorite!

A negotiant family as it goes. Crisp and light. Easy going, the glassware makes it smell like vanilla. A cuvee blended from the classical area and the larger area. Brut, they produce no extra dry.

This bottle (L22110) is the best Rustico I have had. Otherwise I repeat my notes from last year: With Rustico, Nino Franco has found a sweet spot as a very high quality, entry-level Prosecco, more expensive than many but with real character. It's a wine that can handle food on its own, not just as an apertivo. This showed pear, apple, a floral quality, good acidity but a hint of roundness as well, with a lingering bittersweet finish. Excellent QPR.
