Producer: Nino Franco Region: Prosecco, Veneto, Italy Varietal: Glera Year: Non-Vintage  #1 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Wines of 2019 Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points  "This lovely sparkler never disappoints. It's fragrant, with delicate scents of white spring flowers and white stone fruits while the dry, refreshing palate offers ripe pear, apple and white peach alongside a hint of fennel seed. An elegant perlage and fresh acidity provide the backdrop."  James Suckling, 91 Points  "A good style, gently turbid and highly textural. Alpine herb, almond meal and orchard fruit accents meander along a bead, more terse and direct than the norm, as if reaching for greener pastures somewhere higher up. The finish, dry and quinine bitter, evincing a touch of authority in the context of the style. Drink now.."  Vinous, 91 Points  "The NV Prosecco Superiore Rustico wafts up with a remarkably fresh mix of sweet florals, melon and smoke. It washes across the palate with an elegant wave of ripe orchard fruits
