SENSORY PROFILE
THE RITUAL OF EXCELLENCE
The ritual of excellence
Vivari must be experienced through precise gestures, capable of respecting its natural elegance.
How to open the tin
Use the appropriate tin opener. Cut the warranty seal on both sides. Then, pry it open until completely open. The caviar must appear intact, shiny, and compact.
The tasting
A pure tasting is recommended, avoiding accompaniments that distract from its true essence. Use mother-of-pearl, bone, or neutral material spoons. Metal can alter the taste of the pearls. The ideal experience is a vertical, cold tasting, preferably on a bed of ice.

The elegant and refined Asetra caviar is ideal for a simple and refined apéritif or combined with lobster or scallops. In its purity it gives a great sense of gratification and elegance to the palate.
Historically, in Russia, the best matching for caviar is with Vodka, thanks to its neutral taste and its capacity of ” cleansing the palate”.
The most refined palates prefer Champagne, but there are valid alternatives!
Any classic method, Italian or not, produced in its own style, can be perfectly matched to the precious pearls. In fact, thanks to its perlage and its acidity, it will be able to contrast and cleanse the palate from the characteristic plumpness of caviar.
Obviously, some adjustments are required: full bodied wines will have to be matched to caviar types having a more intense and complex taste.
Caviar and wine: a sophisticated match
As for still white wines, it is suggested to prefer the dry ones, taut and vertical, with good minerals and average sapidity. It is better to avoid full bodied white wines which have been aged in wood and having aromatic and oxidized notes.
Red wines are not particularly recommended, among them it is always better to opt for a younger style, with less bodied wines, to be served chilled.
Passito wines are to be avoided; in case caviar is consumed without meals, it could be a good idea to match it with a good tea which is not aromatic.
