Nino Franco 2007 Rive di San Floriano Brut Prosecco (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $30
Extremely delicate and soft in terms of its aromatic intensity, this Prosecco Brut offers a graceful and precise embroidery of foamy, light peach fruit and spring flowers. Yet the sparkler is quite effective in the mouth thanks to its refreshing acidity and perky bubbling.

Nino Franco 2007 Primo Franco Prosecco (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $30
This is a delicately floral, sweet-tasting Prosecco with sharp effervescence that tastes spicy and fresh. The sparkler leaves the palate very clean and is particularly well-suited to foods such as crusty goat cheese pastry snacks.

Nino Franco NV Brut Prosecco (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $26
Light mineral tones appear on the surface of this neutral Prosecco Brut sparkler. The wine is tonic and firm with measured fruit and herbal tones that add a playful touch of complexity. It’s drying and firm in the mouth with an excellent ability to keep your palate refreshed.

Nino Franco NV Rustico Sparkling (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- Best Buy
- $12
Sharp and defined aromas of white flowers and dried cheddar cheese make for an interesting nose. Tart but ripe apricot and pear flavors work well together on the tongue. The dry, simple finish is apropos for an easy drinker such as this. When asked if you’d like an apéritif, say “yes,” if this one is on offer. —M.S.

Nino Franco NV Rustico Prosecco (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $22
There’s a direct approach here in terms of the sparkler’s effervescence that gives the wine an incredibly clean and pristine quality. Rustico is off-dry and that slight sweetness helps move aromas of chopped fruit, banana and peach to the forefront.

Nino Franco 2002 Primo Franco Prosecco (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $17
Extremely floral and perfumed, like lilacs and tangerines layered over Granny Smith apples. Quite sweet, yet appealing, with a creamy, low-acid mouthfeel.

Nino Franco NV Rustico Sparkling (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $12
One of a number of rather split-personality sparklers we encountered., this opens with ginger ale and even beer-like aromas. In the mouth, the flavors are more floral and green, with mild lime notes. It feels brisk and the mousse is frothy, even bracing. Finishes dry with herb and grass accents.

Nino Franco 2000 Primo Franco Sparkling (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene)
- $16
Light, fragrant aromas of flowers, hay and herbs open this steadily bubbly, but very soft, sparkler. Decidedly sweet tropical fruit notes show in the mouth and on the medium-length finish. Still it carries its sweetness with more style than most.
