'Athesis Brut Rosè' Classic Method Sparkling Alto Adige DOC Kettmeir 2019

Athesis Brut Rosé Spumante Metodo Classico Alto Adige DOC is one of the flagship products of Kettmeir , a historic winery in Alto Adige. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes that make up this sparkling wine are grown in the Caldaro area by about 60 members who work on an area of 55 hectares. The calcareous soils lying up to 800 meters above sea level enjoy the excellent ventilation present in the valley of Lake Caldaro, which gives the product an extraordinary freshness. After a brief maceration on the skins, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature separately for the two grape varieties used, followed by refermentation in the bottle, according to the Classic method. Subsequently, the Athesis Brut Rosé Spumante Metodo Classico Alto Adige DOC ages for 24 months on the lees. An excellent sparkling wine, to be drunk immediately, in the fullness of its fragrance, with a very fine perlage, delicately elegant on the sip.
