Vino Intrepido Cold Fusion Col Fondo Prosecco 2021

 

Talk about fizz. It was like a raging torrent on opening and I swear I didn't shake the bottle before opening. The non-stop flow reminded me of the old bi-carb soda volcano science experiment.

So good. What a burst of happiness and refreshment! A fizz worth popping in your glass.

Fun in the sun! Who says we're done with warm days just yet. A very approachable Prosecco coming at you with a dash of Pinot Noir to give it a blush appearance.

Prosecco - very much a buzz word at the moment for those playing a fizz game. From the King Valley, here's another example of simple bubbles ready to please.

Usher Tinkler La Volpe Prosecco 2017

If you're in the Hunter Valley, Usher Tinkler's Cellar and Salumi is a must do. There's a point of difference everywhere you look be it the furniture, relaxed atmosphere, engaging staff or simply the trendy booze on offer along with a wicked array of salumi and cheese.

Brown Brothers Prosecco NV

A friend of mine is a big Prosecco fan. On a recent visit to his house he poured me a glass of this.

Easy drinking fizz here with some residual sweetness. Sweet was the first thing to come to mind.

Red Hill Estate Prosecco NV

A new addition to the Red Hill Estate range - this Prosecco was released only six days before I tasted it at the cellar door.

If you're looking for something that's crisp, refreshing, low on complexity but high on the enjoyment, perhaps this could be your drink.

White florals, green apple. Quite light in the mouth but clean and fresh. Chill hard and enjoy in the sun.

Drink now.

Pizzini Prosecco 2016

Fresh and delish. Pools and sunshine is where this is at.

Yellowglen Botanics Series Prosecco 2015

Australia's love affair with Prosecco is continues to grow rapidly. So much so now the big players in the market now have offerings in their respective ranges. This is Yellowglen's first release.

Attractive labelling helps the sell here - part of their Botanics Series. It's a bit of fun in the glass and not a overly serious rendition. It's sweet but not overly. Lemon juice and apples deliver a clean a crisp wine without too much depth. Crunchy apple acidity to finish and a lemon zest tang add appeal. It's goes ok.

Drink now.

85/100 - Good

Vinea Marson Prosecco 2014

Subdued apples, croutons, some lemon rind. Not overly expressive and doesn't come across all that fresh.

Super dry and almost sour to taste. It's quite watery and doesn't offer the refreshment I'd hope for from a Prosecco.

I'd prefer others.

Zonin Prosecco

To say there is a Prosecco boom taking hold would be an understatement. So much so there is a fear in Europe particularly that some suppliers are said to be finding it hard to keep up with demand.

Made from the Glera variety, Prosecco has cut loose in Australia too with the Victoria's King Valley leading the charge.

Zonin is imported from Italy and is deliciously refreshing. Ideal for our climate during the warmer months, it's pretty kind to your hip pocket too - only $11 and is widely available.

Lean, clean and crisp, there's a wash of apples capped off with a lemony tang.

Seafood, sunshine and the beach would serve as perfect partners.

Good.

Region: Aquileia, Italy
