Light gold in the glass, leading on ripe apricot, peach and lemon over Glera's orchard-fruit signature of apple and pear. This is a fruit-forward Martinotti tank-method Prosecco, not a bready traditional-method fizz.

A featherweight pour at 10% ABV with a creamy mousse and full Spumante bubble, the house choosing Spumante over the gentler Frizzante. Ripe peach, apple and pear sit on a dry, fruit-rounded core lifted by a citrusy zip.

Short and clean, the lemony freshness doing the lifting. Across 115 Vivino ratings it averages 4.1 and lands in the top 3% for value fizz.

Overall

An honest, under-10-pound Veneto Prosecco DOC: 100% Glera by the tank method, made for the aperitivo hour and light seafood rather than the cellar.

Wine fit score

A value aperitivo fizz, not a cellar wine

The scores below place Lustrato where it belongs: high on value and everyday drinking, low on cellaring. At 8.99 pounds with a 4.1 Vivino average it over-delivers as a midweek and aperitivo fizz, while its non-vintage, drink-young build means there is no case for the cellar.

Best intro to this style 8.8/10

Light, dry and fruit-forward at just 10% ABV with a soft creamy mousse: an easy, low-risk introduction to Italian sparkling.

Best everyday bottle 8.6/10

Under 10 pounds, low in alcohol and endlessly useful for the aperitivo hour, an easy midweek fizz.

Best value 8.2/10

At 8.99 pounds, or 7.99 in a mixed dozen, with a 4.1 Vivino average across 115 ratings, it is strong value for a genuine Prosecco DOC.

Best with food 7.2/10

Versatile with aperitivo bites, fried snacks, light shellfish and cured meats, the pairings Vivino tasters log most, though not a match for rich meat or bold sauces.

Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

Non-vintage: a fizz built for freshness, not the cellar

There is no vintage year on Lustrato. Like most Prosecco DOC it is blended for a consistent house style and released to drink young, and the datasheet's 31 December 2027 best-before backs that up. The freshness you want is here now, in the citrus and orchard fruit, so there is nothing to gain by waiting.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

What the Prosecco DOC on the label guarantees

The label's authority is the appellation, not a named estate. Prosecco DOC requires a Glera-led base grown across Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia and made by the Martinotti tank method, the system the Consorzio in Treviso governs across a zone that shipped 667 million bottles in 2025. Lustrato is 100% Glera within that DOC.

01

DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean

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.

Tracked from
£8.99
Direction
Mostly cost down
Drivers
1 up / 4 down
Main factor
Martinotti tank method
  1. 01

    UK VAT at 20%

    Cost up

    The standard 20% UK VAT takes about 1.50 pounds out of the 8.99 pound shelf price before the wine itself is paid for.

  2. 02

    Low 10% ABV, low duty band

    Cost down

    UK wine duty is charged by strength since 2023; at just 10% ABV Lustrato sits near the bottom of the wine duty band, which helps hold a genuine DOC fizz under 10 pounds.

  3. 03

    Martinotti tank method

    Cost down

    Prosecco DOC ferments in steel tanks by the Martinotti method, far cheaper and faster than Champagne's bottle fermentation, the main reason a genuine DOC sparkler can retail this low.

  4. 04

    Own-label, no producer brand

    Cost down

    Sold as a Laithwaites own-label, Lustrato carries no producer marketing or estate name to pay for, stripping brand cost out of the price.

  5. 05

    Industrial DOC scale

    Cost down

    Prosecco DOC shipped 667 million bottles in 2025; that volume and high-yielding Glera off the Veneto and Friuli plain keep the base wine inexpensive.

Cost up

The standard 20% UK VAT takes about 1.50 pounds out of the 8.99 pound shelf price before the wine itself is paid for.

Food Pairing

Aperitivo, fried snacks and light shellfish

Lustrato earns its keep at the aperitivo hour. The creamy bubbles and lemony acidity cut fried and salt-cured bites, while the light 10% body sits under shellfish without swamping it, the pairings Vivino tasters log most. Expect fat-cutting fizz for arancini and gnocco fritto, and citrus freshness for peppered mussels and Venetian baccala.

Fat cutting Strong match

Bubbles and acidity scrub fried richness

A creamy mousse and Glera's lemony acidity lift and cut the oil in fried aperitivo bites, resetting the palate between mouthfuls.

Try with: Gnocco fritto · Arancini · More pairings →

Acidity matching Good match

Citrus freshness meets light shellfish

The light 10% body keeps things delicate while the lemony zip mirrors a squeeze of citrus over peppered mussels, matching the dish without swamping the broth.

Try with: Impepata di cozze · More pairings →

Salt balance Good match

Ripe orchard fruit softens salted cod

Ripe peach and pear fruit rounds off the salt in Venetian whipped baccala, the classic cicchetti-and-fizz pairing from Prosecco's home region.

Try with: Baccala Mantecato · More pairings →

Body matching Good match

A featherweight fizz for the aperitivo hour

At a light 10% ABV with delicate creamy bubbles it sits under antipasti and fried snacks as an aperitif rather than overpowering them, exactly where Vivino tasters place it.

Try with: Arancini · Gnocco fritto · More pairings →

Avoid Clash

Avoid fiery chilli heat

The low 10% alcohol and brisk bubbles amplify capsaicin, so fiery chilli dishes such as a heavy nduja or arrabbiata leave this delicate fizz tasting thin and sharp.

Glera, Veneto and Prosecco DOC, connected

Common Questions

It is dry. Laithwaites lists Lustrato as a dry white, and 100% Glera gives ripe peach, apple and pear fruit that reads as rounded rather than sweet, closed by a citrusy, lemony freshness.

One hundred percent Glera, the signature grape of Prosecco DOC. It is grown across the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia plain and vinified by the Martinotti tank method that keeps Prosecco fresh and fruity.

Spumante. Laithwaites describes a creamy mousse with full Spumante bubbles rather than the gentler Frizzante style, so you get the full sparkling experience.

Creamy mousse, ripe peach, apple and pear, with a citrusy zip and lemony freshness. It is light gold and light bodied at 10% ABV, and 115 Vivino ratings average 4.1 out of 5.

Serve it as an aperitivo or with fried and salt-cured bites: arancini, gnocco fritto, impepata di cozze and Venetian baccala mantecato. Its acidity and bubbles cut fried richness and salt.

Yes, Laithwaites lists it as both vegan and vegetarian. Like most tank-method Prosecco it is built to drink young: chill it and enjoy before the 31 December 2027 best-before date.
