• Cheese: Pairs beautifully with soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese.
• Appetizers: Enjoy alongside light bites like crostini, smoked salmon, or a vegetable antipasto platter.

Best Serving Temp

Serve the Cleanskin Prosecco NV chilled, around 6-8°C, to highlight its refreshing qualities and lively bubbles.

Technical Terms Explained

Semi-Dry: Refers to a wine that has a slightly sweet character, but not as sweet as a full dessert wine. In Prosecco, this balance adds a subtle roundness while retaining freshness.

Effervescence: The sparkling bubbles in the wine that give it a lively, refreshing quality. These bubbles are formed during the fermentation process, giving the wine its signature fizz.

Citrus Flavours: Refers to the fresh, zesty flavours commonly associated with fruits like lemon, lime, and orange. These flavours contribute to the wine’s crispness and freshness.

Acidity: The tart, crisp sensation in wine that gives it structure and freshness. It makes the wine food-friendly and enhances its refreshing qualities.

What is a Cleanskin Wine?

Cleanskin wine refers to red, white, or sparkling wines that come without labels or detailed information about the winery. Despite their unlabelled status, cleanskin wines can offer exceptional quality at a fraction of the usual price.

Why Are Wines Cleanskin?

1. Overproduction: Wineries sometimes produce more wine than they can sell. To manage excess inventory and prevent wastage, these wines are sold as cleanskins at reduced prices.
2. Label Changes or Discontinuation: Wines that were previously branded and sold at higher prices may become cleanskins due to changes in branding or label updates. When a winery updates its label or changes its brand, older wines might be sold as cleanskins.
3. Surplus Stock: Occasionally, wineries have surplus stock from past vintages or production runs. These wines, although still of high quality, are sold as cleanskins to make room for new vintages.

Why Choose Cleanskin Wines?

Cleanskin wines offer incredible value. Often sold at significantly lower prices than their labelled counterparts, you could be enjoying a premium-quality bottle worth $20 or more for a fraction of the cost. It’s a smart way to experience excellent wines without paying a premium.
