Wine and cheese
Cheese with Perricone
Caciocavallo Palermitano
Our pick A caciocavallo aged towards six months is piquant, with a compact paste that flakes. Nero d'Avola-led reds bring dark fruit, tannin and acidity to carry that sharpness, and the weight to meet a wheel kept long enough to grate.
Nero d'Avola-led reds of structure, Sicily: Tasca d'Almerita Rosso del Conte · Tasca d'Almerita Regaleali Rosso
Pecorino Siciliano
Our pick Aged Pecorino Siciliano is salty, with heat that builds over 4 to 8 months. Full-bodied Sicilian reds, from native blends to Syrah, Cabernet and Petit Verdot, bring the concentration and tannin to stand up to it.
Full-bodied Sicilian reds beyond the classic appellations (blends and international varieties), Sicily: Tasca d'Almerita Rosso del Conte · Firriato Ribeca
