Wine and cheese
Cheese with Frappato
Ragusano
Our pick The Ragusano consortium's page on use suggests Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG among the reds that pair well with the cheese. The wine's red cherry and high acidity suit a table-aged wheel, and both come from south-eastern Sicily.

Provola dei Nebrodi
Our pick Qualigeo says tradition cooks the provola all'argentiera, with garlic, anchovies and a little vinegar. That salty, sharp richness wants a light red with fresh acidity, and Frappato's red berries, low tannin and high acidity fit.
