Wine and cheese

Cheese with Corvina

Every cheese
Monte Veronese Our pick Old d'allevo is the sharpest, most peppery Monte Veronese, a cheese for the end of a meal. Amarone, dry and full-bodied from dried grapes and long ageing, has the weight and alcohol to stand up to it. Serve a small piece. Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella: Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico · Dal Forno Romano Amarone della Valpolicella · Viviani Casa dei Bepi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Asiago d'Allevo Our pick Mezzano and Vecchio have a firmer, more savoury paste that wants a red with some structure. A Ripasso, refermented on dried Amarone skins, gives medium tannin and high acidity, enough to match the cheese without drowning it. Valpolicella Ripasso, Veneto: Zenato Valpolicella Superiore Ripassa · Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso · Tenuta Sant'Antonio Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso
Monte Veronese di malga Our pick Monte Veronese di malga, aged long, turns hard and slightly granular with butter, hazelnut and a spicy edge. A Riserva Amarone, dry, full and seasoned by years of ageing, matches that depth, and the cheese's fat softens the wine's structure. Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva, Valpolicella: Cà la Bionda Riserva Ravazzòl Amarone della Valpolicella Classico · Le Ragose Marta Galli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva · Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva
Piave Our pick An aged Piave Vecchio or Riserva is savoury, intense and crumbly, never spicy, per Qualigeo and the consortium. Amarone, dry but rich from dried grapes, with full body and firm tannin, stands up to that concentration. Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto: Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Villa Novare · Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato · Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Grana Padano Our pick Recioto is a sweet red from dried grapes. Against aged, granular Grana Padano the cheese's salt and savoury crunch play off the wine's sugar, a milder version of the sweet and salty contrast of Recioto with blue cheese. Recioto della Valpolicella, Valpolicella: Giuseppe Quintarelli Recioto della Valpolicella Classico · Dal Forno Romano Recioto della Valpolicella · Viviani Recioto della Valpolicella Classico
Asiago Pressato Our pick A dry, light rosé with strawberry fruit and crisp acidity works as an aperitif beside cubes of fresh Asiago: the wine refreshes and the cheese's sweet, slightly tangy milkiness stays in front. Bardolino Chiaretto, Veneto: Guerrieri Rizzardi Tacchetto Bardolino Chiaretto Classico · Cavalchina Bardolino Chiaretto Classico
