The hills between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2019 – as a cultural landscape where viticulture and the landscape have formed an inseparable whole for centuries. Steep slopes, terraces, manual labour, and a complexity of soils that makes industrial cultivation methods simply impossible. It is here, in the central hills of the classic zone, that Nino Franco sources the grapes for his most important wine. The estate was founded in 1919 by Primo Franco. His grandson – also named Primo Franco – , now runs it in the third generation with the same conviction: Prosecco from here is not an industrial drink, but the expression of an exceptional terroir. The Rustico is their calling card. 100% Glera, carefully selected, fermented using the Charmat method, with a delicacy of effervescence and freshness that demonstrates what distinguishes Valdobbiadene Superiore from ordinary Prosecco IGT.

Bright straw yellow with a fine, persistent effervescence. On the nose, Williams pear, white spring blossoms, apple, white peach and a subtle hint of fennel seeds. Soft and crystal-clear on the palate, carried by lively freshness, with an elegant finish. Prosecco – just as it should be. SUPERIORE.DE

"A sparkling straw-yellow colour with silvery highlights and persistent bubbles. On the nose, delicate aromas of Williams pear, lemon balm and elderflower. On the palate, juicy fruit, well-balanced with an elegant acidity, and final lively final." Falstaff

"The Prosecco Superiore Rustico from Valdobbiadene combines citrus fruits with sage and crushed green apples, offering a savoury rather than sweet profile. On the palate, it is distinctive, mineral and lively, with a racy acidity and a depth of tart fruit. The finish is clean yet impressive, leaving a slightly salty aftertaste and a hint of green melon." Vinous
