A special "cinema" edition of "Finché c'è Prosecco c'è Speranza" was issued by publisher Marcos y Marcos, as well as a photographic film diary. "The Last Prosecco" had its premiere at the Rome Film Festival's independent festival on 29 October 2017, where it "captivated audiences through the expression of the magic and charm" of the Veneto region. A general release in Italy followed on 31 October, the run in theatres lasting for over two months. The film has been shown at numerous international film festivals, including Cape Town in 2017, where it won the award for cinematography, and the 2018 , where it was the closing feature. In Italy, "The Last Prosecco" is available on DVD from IBS.it, and for streaming from Noleggio and as a digital download from Trova. During its opening weekend in Italy (31 October 2017), "The Last Prosecco" is reported to have taken US$389,871. The film eventually took €483,348 at the box office in Italy overall. "The Last Prosecco" was well received by audiences, even, despite the changes made to the story, by fans of the novel. Andrea Fornasiero argues the film's tone is more like a television episode than a traditional "giallo" film and compares it to the Italian "giallo" television series "", which avoids the excesses of gloom typical of the genre. Stucky's Conegliano is a lot like Salvo Montalbano's Vigàta. The film eschews realism and ambiguity: Stucky's only obstacle seems to be his superior, but even this character in the end is also revealed to have a heart of gold, showing we are very far removed from any chiaroscuro representation of the police. David Lanzafame remarks that the film is more of "a warm-hearted environmental film" rather than a murder mystery: More humorous than dark or violent, "The Last Prosecco" moseys through its mystery with lots of sweeping views of the Veneto region. The light plot serves as more of a guide for the audience to experience the beautiful vistas and perhaps, like our characters, to fall in love with the land. As far as it is an environmental film, Padovan lets the land and the people who live there speak for themselves, and it delivers its message with a softer, more humorous touch.
