Colli Soligo Prosecco Review

I have James at Eurowines to thank for sending me a couple of bottles of Prosecco to review.  This followed a Twitter review I had written on one of my favourite Proseccos, and James suggested I try the below two as they are even better!

Challenge accepted, two bottles arrived a couple of days later, beautifully packaged, and an info pack included.  Bottle wise, they are both really beautiful - aesthetically pleasing in the sense that I would buy them just for the packaging alone.  I was really excited to try them as they looked to hold so much promise!

Colli Soligo

Cantina Colli del Soligo was founded in 1957 to meet the needs of prosecco producers in the soligo area. The winery is located midway between conegliano and valdobbiadene along the "white wine road" at the base of beautiful steep hills that are volcanic in origin and reach an altitude of 300-400 meters above sea level. The winery is only 50 kilometers from beautiful venice.  You can read more about them and their products here - http://www.collisoligo.com/en/

Cuvee Solicum Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry - NV 2014 Harv

Firstly, as mentioned, this is a beautiful bottle.  Smooth curves, and a very classy looking label.  On opening there was a gorgeous floral note, with a light citrus aroma, not too fizzy either.  A light straw colour, with perfectly formed bubbles, again not too fizzy.  On tasting, I realised that I have been drinking Prosecco on a different level to this.  Whilst the supermarket Prosecco's are all well and good, and some delicious, this really is like no other Prosecco I have tasted - I really really love it!  It was a gorgeous dry flavour, creamy, and so good I had to drink it by itself, I didn't want to ruin the enjoyment by adding food.  This is a Prosecco I am going to actively seek out to buy, hopefully a case!
It can be purchased from House of Townend (Hull), Grape & Grind (Bristol), Mamma Anna & Co (London), Liquid Treasure (Derbys), Good Wines Online (online), Buy Fine Wines (online), Simply Wines Direct (online).  Customers can contact Eurowines directly to purchase by the 6 bottle case.  Delivery charges may apply.  E-mail enquiries@eurowines.co.uk for details.

Millesimato Rive di Soligo Prosecco Superiore DOCG Dry 2014 Vintage

I feel like I have shot myself in the foot really, after the review above, I want to say the same things about this Prosecco.  Again, it's such a beautiful bottle of fizz.  It's so attractive, with the gorgeous silver glitter, it's a perfect bottle for an occasion or for a gift.  This one was similar to the first, in that it was fruity, maybe a little more zesty, very light, and had floral hints.  Dry, yet thirst quenching, I think this just took the edge as my favourite out of the two I have sampled.  The tasting notes say this would go well with desserts or pastries, and I think the slightly acidic quality would offset well.
This Prosecco can be enjoyed in Zizzi Restaurants nationwide, via Buy Fine Wines (online), Simply Wines Direct (online).  Customers can contact Eurowines directly to purchase by the 6 bottle case.  Delivery charges may apply.  E-mail enquiries@eurowines.co.uk for details
