Wine and cheese

Cheese with Carricante

Every cheese
Ragusano Our pick The consortium's page on use suggests Etna Bianco as its example of a Sicilian white for Ragusano. Its citrus and saline minerality lift the sweet young cheese and answer the almond note the consortium finds in long-aged wheels. Etna Bianco, Sicily: Girolamo Russo Etna Bianco · Palmento Costanzo Mofete Etna Bianco · Graci Etna Bianco
Provola dei Nebrodi Our pick Fresh provola is sweet and slightly acidic with a soft ivory paste. Carricante from Milo is dry with racy acidity and a saline, chalky finish, which lifts that milk sweetness and keeps a peppery aged wheel in check. Etna Bianco Superiore, Sicily: Benanti Pietramarina · Pietradolce Archineri Etna Bianco · Tenuta di Fessina 'A Puddara
