Spumante Brut Alto Adige DOC "Athesis" - Kettmeir 2022

Elegant and graceful, this Brut sparkling wine from Alto Adige shows fine perlage and a pale straw color. On the nose, notes of green apple and pear, lemon zest and a floral hint that doesn't overpower; the texture is supported by vibrant acidity and a saline note that lends clarity to the aromatic profile. The delicacy of the perlage supports the profile without weighing it down and the style remains dry, with good tension, balanced toward freshness without feeling insubstantial.

On the palate the sip is lively, with delicate bubbles that caress the palate and a slight creaminess that transitions into a pleasant, lingering finish; moderate but convincing structure, ideal for those seeking drinkability and character together. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs well with raw seafood, shellfish and fish dishes, as well as fresh cheeses and light fried foods; serve chilled in a flute or a sparkling wine glass to appreciate its finesse. It is also well suited to informal occasions, from brunch to parties, thanks to its immediate drinkability.
