Spumante 1919 Riserva Extra Brut Alto Adige DOC - Magnum - Kettmeir 2018

In the glass it opens with fine, continuous perlage that accompanies a fresh, savory profile. On the nose there are ripe citrus, green apple and delicate floral hints, followed by a faint note of bread crust that adds complexity without weighing it down; the palate is lively, with well-balanced acidity and an elegant structure that supports the wine without sacrificing lightness. The mineral quality gives lift to the palate and the finish is dry and focused, suited to those seeking controlled, characterful bubbles.

The magnum format enhances the wine's softness and makes it perfect for moments of sharing. Serve chilled, around 6–8 °C, in large glasses to capture its balance between freshness and savory character. It pairs with seafood starters, crudo and shellfish, but also supports delicate first courses and vegetable-based preparations; it also works as an aperitif for those who prefer a dry, refined sparkling wine, capable of keeping pace with subtle dishes without overpowering them.
