1919 Riserva Metodo Classico Extra Brut Alto Adige DOC 2017
The elegance and freshness typical of the Kettmeir style combine with aromatic notes of brioche and vanilla cream in this sparkling Riserva aged for 60 months on the lees.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow in colour with golden reflections and enlivened by persistent, extremely fine bubbles. Complex, multi-layered bouquet which ranges from voluptuous notes of candied peel and ripe fruit to intriguing hints of spice and dried fruit. Both vibrant and caressing on the palate, with crisp acidity and an underlying savoury vein. The wine’s effervescence dictates the rhythm for the dance of aromas which flit between fruity scents and indulgent sweet pastries.
Pairings
Refined aromas, lively bubbles and complex flavours make this a sparkling wine to accompany any course of a meal. A great companion to intensely-flavoured dishes such as firm-fleshed fish (tuna, sword fish), and/or particular cooking methods (roasted, grilled, marinated) and/or seasoned with spices and aromatic herbs. This make it a must-try pairing with the hot and spicy cooking of the Far East and South America.
Why we like it
A sparkling wine that ages and softens its texture for at least 60 months on the lees, developing notes of butter, bread crust and brioche that are enhanced by the fine perlage.
