A soft, gently dry Prosecco DOC from Glera grown in the Euganean Hills south of Padua. Fresh apple, pear and citrus with a flinty edge, light at 10.5%. It is Laithwaites' own label: £12.99 a bottle, made for aperitivo hour.
Prices read daily from 1 UK retailer. We earn a commission on some links; it never changes the order.
One shop sells this wine in the UK, so there is no price to compare between shops. Each price is the one on its page today, read daily.
No current retailer offer matches that combination.
Stock status is read from each retailer’s page once a day and may lag. Case and magnum listings show a per-bottle or per-litre equivalent and sit outside the best-price figure.
Laithwaites' card and Vivino's 333 drinker ratings agree on orchard fruit: apple, pear and peach, with a flinty edge from Glera on volcanic Euganean soils south of Padua.
Fresh orchard fruit leads: apple, pear and a little peach, the three fruits Vivino drinkers mention most for Casa Cantalini. Laithwaites' own card adds apricot and a flinty, mineral edge from Glera grown on volcanic soils in the Euganean Hills. A faint straw-and-grass note sits behind the fruit.

Flint
GrassSoft and light, with gentle bubbles that keep going rather than a sharp burst. This is the extra-dry style, listed as medium dry on Laithwaites' card, so a small touch of sweetness arrives first and citrus freshness tidies it away. At 10.5% it is lighter than most Prosecco DOC, easy to pour across a whole aperitivo hour.
Short, clean and fresh: lemony citrus and a light flinty note close it, not sugar.
Vivino drinkers score the Averys-sold bottling of Casa Cantalini 3.9 from 333 ratings, high for a £12.99 Prosecco, and reach for it with shellfish, cured meat and snacks. Drink it young: Laithwaites lists a best-before of May 2027.
Casa Cantalini is a Laithwaites house label, so the same wine (product code 4199524) sells through Laithwaites, The Sunday Times Wine Club and Averys. £12.99 a bottle, or £10.99 each in a mixed 12.
The scores below weigh its £12.99 price (£10.99 in a mixed dozen), the light 10.5% strength and its soft extra-dry style.
Soft, lightly sweet, low in alcohol and instantly familiar: one of the easiest entries into Italian fizz.
Light 10.5% strength and a £10.99 to £12.99 price make it a weeknight and weekend pour rather than a special-occasion bottle.
Bubbles, citrus acidity and a soft extra-dry profile flex from fried food to cured meat; only sweet desserts defeat it.
£12.99 sits above the £8-11 UK shelf norm for own-label DOC Prosecco; the £10.99 mixed-case price and a 3.9 Vivino score pull it back to fair.
Fine for birthday and brunch toasts, but it is an entry-level DOC label; for a statement moment step up to a Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG or Franciacorta.
A tank-method NV Prosecco with a best-before of May 2027 on Laithwaites' listing; freshness is the whole point, so there is nothing to gain from keeping it.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Prosecco denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
There is no year on the label. Casa Cantalini is blended across harvests for a consistent style, and Laithwaites lists a best-before of 31 May 2027: buy it, chill it, pour it.
A non-vintage blend, so there is no harvest year to judge. Laithwaites lists a best-before of 31 May 2027; drink it young and cold while the fruit is fresh.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Prosecco DOC covers nine provinces across Veneto and Friuli, and Padova, whose Euganean Hills grew this wine's Glera, is one of them. The rules cap yields at 18 tonnes per hectare.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Prosecco is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Prosecco falls within Veneto, covering Nine provinces of Veneto and Friuli: Belluno, Gorizia, Padova, Pordenone, Treviso, Trieste, Udine, Venezia, Vicenza. The denomination is further divided into 2 sub-zones.

Duty at 2026 rates comes to about £2.42 on a 10.5% bottle, and VAT inside the £12.99 price is another £2.17: roughly £4.60 of what you pay is tax.
Casa Cantalini belongs to Laithwaites, which buys the wine from undisclosed Euganean Hills growers and spreads one product code (4199524) across Laithwaites, The Sunday Times Wine Club and Averys.
Prosecco gets its bubbles in pressurised tanks over a few weeks. None of the years of cellar ageing behind Franciacorta or Champagne, so the production cost stays low.
The fruit comes from the Prosecco DOC's southern hills near Padua, not the steep, hand-worked DOCG slopes of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, and DOC grapes cost far less than DOCG ones.
A spumante needs a mushroom cork, wire cage and pressure-rated bottle, all dearer than a still wine's closure at the same price.
Vivino drinkers pour this with shellfish, cured meat and snacks. The matches below follow that logic: bubbles and citrus against fat and salt, with its touch of sweetness kept below the food's.
Bubbles and lemony acidity scrub fat from fried food, and at 10.5% the wine never feels heavy next to it. That is why fried snacks and fizz open so many Italian evenings.
Try with: Arancini · Gnocco fritto · Fish and chips · Prawn tempura
The extra-dry style carries a touch of sugar, and that softness flatters salt: prosciutto, salami and olives taste rounder against it. Vivino drinkers list cured meat among this wine's most common matches.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · marinated olives · salami crostini · More pairings →
Its own gentle sweetness lets it sit beside lightly sweet food without turning thin. Prosciutto with melon is the classic: salt, sugar and bubbles in one bite.
Try with: Prosciutto e melone · peach and burrata salad · fresh fruit platter
Fresh citrus acidity cuts through milky, creamy textures, so mozzarella and soft cheeses feel lighter beside it. The flinty edge Laithwaites notes keeps the pairing tasting clean.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · burrata · triple-cream cheese · More pairings →
A light 10.5% sparkler will not steamroll delicate shellfish the way a big white can. Steamed or flash-fried prawns keep their sweetness next to it.
Try with: Prawn tempura · Salt and pepper prawns · steamed mussels
Anything much sweeter than its own gentle touch of sugar strips the fruit out and leaves it thin and sour: wedding cake is the classic casualty. With dessert, pour a lightly sweet Moscato d'Asti instead and keep Casa Cantalini for the aperitivo.
Skip with: Wedding cake · chocolate torte · sticky toffee pudding · Pairing guide →

Confidence · HighThe name on the label belongs to Laithwaites, a shop, not to a winery. Laithwaites is the only UK shop we track that sells it, so there is no price comparison to make. How we tell estate, shop and brand labels apart.

Confidence · MediumStyle guidance for this kind of wine at this price point. Treat it as advice, not a forecast for the bottle in your hand.
Confidence · MediumCasa Cantalini is an own label owned by Laithwaites (Direct Wines), not a winery you can visit. The producer is not disclosed; Laithwaites says the Glera comes from vineyards in the Euganean Hills south of Padua. The same wine also sells through The Sunday Times Wine Club and Averys.
£12.99 a bottle at Laithwaites, dropping to £10.99 a bottle when you buy it in a mixed case of 12 (August 2026 prices).
It sits in the extra-dry band, which Laithwaites lists as medium dry: a touch of softness up front, then a fresh citrus finish. It is softer than a brut but far from a dessert wine.
Apple, pear and peach lead, with citrus, a faint grassy note and a flinty mineral edge. It is light-bodied at 10.5% with gentle, steady bubbles.
Fried starters, cured meats and shellfish. Vivino drinkers most often pour it with shellfish, cured meat and appetisers; arancini, gnocco fritto and fish and chips all work.
Yes, a little. Most Prosecco DOC spumante sits nearer 11%. The lower strength fits its soft style and makes it an easy aperitivo pour.
