Wine and cheese
Cheese with Canaiolo
Pecorino stagionato in botte
Our pick The herbs and oil of a pecorino aged in barrels need a red with grip but not heavy tannin. Torgiano Rosso, Sangiovese-based and medium-bodied with medium tannin and acidity, carries that herbal aroma without covering it.
Torgiano Rosso, Umbria: Mirantico
