Wine and cheese

Cheese with Cortese

Every cheese
Morlacco del Grappa Local tradition Slow Food says to eat Morlacco, a tender and very salty cheese, with light white wines. A light, dry white raised in steel without oak refreshes the palate between salty bites. Light dry white wine, Veneto: Cavalchina Bianco di Custoza · Gorgo Bianco di Custoza DOC · Corte Gardoni Bianco di Custoza DOC
Murazzano Our pick A fresh Murazzano is milky and delicately fragrant, with piquant notes as it ages. Gavi's dry Cortese, medium in body with high acidity, cleans the palate and leaves that delicate aroma intact. Gavi, Piedmont: La Scolca Gavi dei Gavi Etichetta Nera
