Ca' Morlin makes Prosecco in Veneto with one clear mission: affordable, clean, fresh sparkling wine made properly. Since 1994, Matt Thomson has worked with Conegliano-born winemaker Andrea Morlin and a grower partner to produce Ca' Morlin wines from 4 hectares of Glera vineyards planted on clay slopes near Treviso and in the Asolo DOCG zone. The vineyards are trained with double Guyot; grapes are picked late for concentrated flavour, then cool-fermented and secondary-fermented under pressure using the Charmat method. Every bottle is sealed under screwcap to guard against cork taint and random oxidation. The result: soft, scented, grapey Prosecco with real lightness and length—and at prices that make sense for everyday drinking and entertaining.
Andrea Morlin was born in Conegliano, the historic heart of Prosecco production. Matt Thomson, who sources for SommPills, realised that finding a Prosecco producer combining grape control, quality discipline, zone expertise and genuine value was nearly impossible—so the partnership was formed to make their own. The winery is modern and compact, tucked into the Veneto hills. Vines grow on well-draining clay soils on gentle slopes; late-harvest timing concentrates natural flavours before cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The second fermentation happens under pressure in sealed tanks, with the CO₂ dissolving naturally into the wine. Sterile bottling through micro-filtration preserves the exact sparkle level. Both frizzante and spumante styles are vegan and vegetarian.
Start with the NV Prosecco Frizzante Treviso (£10.60)—the house wine, lightly sparkling at 11% ABV, fresh and soft with real drink-now appeal. If you want a step up, the NV Prosecco Superiore Spumante Asolo DOCG (£16.40) is fully sparkling, drier, and aged a month on lees for added complexity; it won Silver at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards. The NV Prosecco Frizzante (£15) sits between the two, while the 2022 Prosecco Rosé (£16.80) made from Raboso offers berry and cream notes for something different.
The Frizzante Treviso is perfect with cured meats, soft cheese, and antipasti platters—or simply as an aperitif before dinner. The Asolo Spumante, drier and more substantial, pairs with oysters, prawns, or light pasta dishes. The Rosé works with soft fruits, delicate desserts, or strawberry-based puddings. All are best served at 6–8°C.
