About this deal

With a very pale, delicate colour, it has a gentle, floral, and appley aromas, much lighter and fresher in style than Cava, and less intense than most Champagnes. On the palate, it has a delicate, apple blossom and ripe pear character, with hints of acacia honey, but primarily a fresh acidity, and lively delicacy. At Premier Estates Wine, our wine production experts have put a serious amount of time and effort into getting our Prosecco recipe just right, with the aim of treating all of our customers to their favourite multi award winning sparkling wine at its most perfect. For many of our customers, just the one glass at the end of the day is all that's required to help them unwind in style and they might not want to pop the cork on a full size 70cl bottle only to leave the rest in the fridge for a few days where it might lose some its exciting, just opened fizz. To this end, the team saw great value in producing a mini Prosecco bottle of 200ml, just one glass of Prosecco. Our minis contain the perfect quantity for enjoying a single, pleasurable glass of our incredibly popular sparkler with lunch, or to wind down following a tough day in the office, with supper at home. Mini Prosecco bottles aren't really a break through in the world of sparkling wine, but there are certainly a few things about our mini Prosecco bottles that set them ahead of our competitors. Our Prosecco is a multi award winner and these awards have been presented at some of the most prestigious competitions in the wine industry. These awards have come from the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), the International Wine Challenge (IWC) and the Decanter World Wine Awards. The award recipients are decided following blind wine tastings by some of the wine industry’s most respected and experienced professional sommeliers. These highly regarded judges have deemed our Prosecco to be amongst the very best in a very competitive market and to receive accreditation at such a high level is a major achievement of which we are very proud. It’s a very encouraging result after all those hundreds of hours of research and production work carried out by our team. However, Prosecco, the grape, was also being grown in other countries, such as Australia and Brazil, so this, in combination with the increase in sales and international success, resulted in new laws and regulations regarding production. A new area, called ‘Prosecco’ was created, and vineyard area increased by 25%. The original designated area was made a DOCG, and that is where the top quality Prosecco now comes from. The broader, wider DOC area is flatter, and the yields are higher, with many new plantings. This means that only wines grown in these areas are allowed to be labelled Prosecco.

Prosecco is the perfect aperitif – and the perfect wine for lunchtime entertaining and picnics, due to its lower alcohol level. At 11% it is 1.5% lighter than Champagne, and has a fresher, more delicate style. Tranquillo - the rarest 1% variety because it has no bubbles at all. It is still produced from Glera grapes and in Veneto region and is hard to find outside Italy. The last few years have seen major changes, and the success of Prosecco on the international market has hit the region, like a whirlwind. Until 2010, Prosecco was named after the grape variety from which it is made, and was produced in a limited DOC area. Great Nana Untried Have only tried one as yet,some are for gifts and the rest for Christmas so cant really give a review. The Price: There’s no denying we like to get a bargain, however, we don’t like to sacrifice on quality. The lower price point of Prosecco makes it accessible to everyone. It’s an easy solution when you wat to celebrate with friends and family but you don’t want to spend a fortune on Champagne.It reduces blood pressure: In moderation, Prosecco can improve the functioning of our blood vessels by increasing blood flow. Why is that good? Well, increased blood flow decreases both blood pressure and the likelihood of clots forming, which means you are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease and strokes. Woohoo!

Originally the area also produced still wines, but now the entire production is focussed on Prosecco, and there are over 185 wineries in the region. The very best Proseccos come from the DOCG areas of Conegliano-Valdobiaddene, and Colli Ascolani and it’s worth looking out for these names on the label and paying just that little bit extra for a whole lot more quality. Around 60% of all Prosecco comes from these DOCG areas. A Absolutely! We deliver Prosecco all over the UK to wedding venues, corporate events and social gatherings of all kinds. Just call and speak to a member of our sales team to find out how we can help make your event even more special.Sparkling wine and Champagne drinking trends have changed dramatically in the last 10 years; these wines have become more accessible, and keen pricing has meant that they have become more affordable, and therefore more ‘everyday drinking’ than they used to be. Until a few years ago, Champagne sales were buoyant, and one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the drinks industry. A Premier Estates Prosecco is made in North Eastern Italy, specifically in the town of Vazzola which is in the heart of the Veneto region. This particularly beautiful part of Italy has many amazing vineyards which are famous for producing truly wonderful grapes. The varying terrain means that the grapes have quite different characteristics depending upon the geographical height at which they were grown. Dry - funnily enough, it's the least dry variety here! It can contain up to 32 grams of sugar residue per litre. This type of Prosecco is very peachy and mellow, but also much harder to find.

A Serve this wine chilled (7-10°C) to ensure that you get the best characteristics out of the Prosecco. A The manufacturing method used by our wine making team to produce our award winning Prosecco is most often referred to as the “Charmat Method” named after Frenchman Eugène Charmat, a pioneer in the use of glazed stainless steel tanks to facilitate the secondary fermentation stage.

A Prosecco is a lighter, fruitier sparkling wine with a wide appeal due to the differences in the production methods of the two beverages. Champagne undergoes a longer secondary fermentation process and tends to be more of an acquired taste with less fruity, more toasty, biscuit flavour tones. Spumante - this is the most bubbly and iconic one with a really persistent fizz. It is also the most popular in terms of production - 60% of all Prosecco out there is Spumante. Nothing it seems! Prosecco has surged in Popularity since the 2000’s and it doesn’t seem to have peaked yet. In fact, it is the best selling sparkling wine across many major UK supermarkets and sales are still increasing year on year. It appeals to the younger market: The lower price tag and light flavour make Prosecco an ideal choice for those who are new to sparkling wine and the younger generation who would have previously relied on cheap spirits. It’s also very easy to find in bars and restaurants. It isn’t reserved just for celebrations: Because Prosecco isn’t associated with extravagance, it can be enjoyed whenever you feel like it. Whether you serve it at a party with your nearest and dearest, or a glass on you own in the evening – it’s the perfect anytime treat.
