Wine and cheese

Cheese with Garganega

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
Asiago Pressato Our pick A dry, steel-raised Soave Classico echoes the sweet, milky flavour of fresh Asiago without covering it, and its high acidity cuts through the soft, buttery paste. Soave Classico, Veneto: Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino · Pra Monte Grande Soave Classico · Pieropan Soave Classico
Provolone Valpadana Our pick Piccante, made with lamb or kid rennet and aged at least 90 days, is sharper than the Dolce type. A sweet Recioto di Soave, with apricot and honey over bright acidity, sets sweet against salty and sharp. Recioto di Soave, Veneto: Pieropan Le Colombare Recioto di Soave · Suavia Amedeo Recioto di Soave · Monte Tondo Miele Recioto di Soave DOCG
Monte Veronese Our pick Monte Veronese is a semi-cooked cow's-milk cheese from the Verona mountains, delicate when young and slightly piquant with age. A Soave Superiore, a medium-bodied Garganega-based white with high acidity, has the weight for the paste and cuts its fat. Soave Superiore DOCG, Veneto: Inama Bradisismo Soave Superiore DOCG · Suavia Soave Classico Monte Carbonare · Inama Soave Classico Superiore Vigneti di Foscarino
Piave Our pick Qualigeo calls fresh Piave milky and sweet. A dry, unoaked Soave Classico with high acidity contrasts with that mildness and keeps the pairing from feeling heavy. Soave Classico, Veneto: Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino · Pra Monte Grande Soave Classico · Fasoli Gino Soave Classico Mael
Asiago d'Allevo Our pick Asiago d'Allevo Mezzano is compact with sweet notes, turning savoury and grainy as it ages. Garganega fermented or aged in oak barriques has a rounder texture that matches the firm paste, and its high acidity keeps the pairing fresh. Oak-fermented Garganega, Veneto: Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca · Inama Bradisismo Soave Superiore DOCG · Pra Otto Soave Classico
