Wine and cheese

Cheese with Catarratto

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
Pecorino Siciliano Our pick A long-aged, medium-sweet Marsala Riserva, with nutty, dried fig and orange notes, balances the salt and heat of an aged ewe's milk pecorino, and its nutty depth echoes the cheese's slow ripening. Marsala Superiore Riserva, Sicily: Pellegrino Marsala Superiore Riserva 10 Anni
Vastedda della Valle del Belice Our pick Catarratto, a white of western Sicily, is light to medium in body, fresh and citrus-scented, so it keeps pace with fresh sheep curd without covering its mild butter flavour. Catarratto, Sicily: Rapitala Catarratto · Mandrarossa Catarratto · Cantina Rallo Alcamo Bianco
Piacentinu Ennese Our pick Piacentinu runs from mildly to more intensely peppery, with light saffron notes. An off-dry Marsala Superiore, with dried apricot, caramel and a gentle oxidative edge, softens the pepper and echoes the saffron. Marsala Superiore (off-dry), Sicily: Florio Marsala Superiore Semisecco · Cantina Rallo Marsala Superiore
Caciocavallo Palermitano Our pick Slow Food credits the Cinisara cows' pasture with citrus, sage and hay notes in the milk. A fresh Sicilian white blend, citrus and stone fruit with high acidity, matches those notes and cleans the palate. Fresh Sicilian white blends, Sicily: Donnafugata Vigna di Gabri · Donnafugata Anthilia · Tasca d'Almerita Regaleali Bianco
