Wine and cheese

Cheese with Grillo

Every cheese
Vastedda della Valle del Belice Our pick Qualigeo's sheet for Vastedda suggests a good Sicilian white, perhaps a Grillo or Chardonnay, besides olive oil and oregano. Grillo's citrus, herbal lift and high acidity freshen the mild, slightly tangy fresh sheep curd. Grillo, Sicily: Marco De Bartoli Grappoli del Grillo · Planeta Grillo · Feudo Montoni Grillo della Timpa
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: Florio Targa Riserva 1840 · Marco De Bartoli Marsala Superiore Riserva 10 Anni · Pellegrino Marsala Superiore Riserva 10 Anni
Caciocavallo Palermitano Our pick Dry Marsala Vergine is full-bodied and oxidative, with walnut, hazelnut and dried fig and no sweetness. It sets that nuttiness against the piquant, flaky paste of an older caciocavallo, a savoury rather than sweet pairing. Marsala Vergine (dry), Sicily: Florio Marsala Vergine Riserva · Florio Terre Arse Marsala Vergine · Pellegrino Marsala Vergine Soleras
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: Marco De Bartoli Vigna La Miccia Marsala Oro · Marco De Bartoli Marsala Superiore Riserva Oro · Florio Marsala Superiore Semisecco
