Wine and cheese

Cheese with Pinot Grigio

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: Maculan Pino and Toi Breganze Bianco · Italo Cescon Il Tralcetto Pinot Grigio delle Venezie
Asìno Our pick Asìno is savoury and piquant in its soft fresh and its aged versions. A dry Friulian Pinot Grigio, with pear or apple, almond and high acidity, cleans the salt and has the body to carry the piquancy. Friuli Pinot Grigio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Schiopetto Pinot Grigio · Vie di Romans Dessimis Pinot Grigio · Lis Neris Gris Pinot Grigio
Ricotta salata della Valnerina Our pick Strong and lightly salty, this ricotta is eaten with oil and pepper or grated over pasta. A fresh, dry white with high acidity refreshes the salt and leaves the cheese's flavour to speak. Fresh Umbrian whites (Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, blends), Umbria: Etesia
Montasio Our pick Qualigeo lists Prosecco DOP among the wines for Montasio. A dry, light Friulian spumante brings the same fresh acidity and fine bubbles, cleaning the palate between milky, yoghurty bites of young Fresco. Friulian sparkling wine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Puiatti Spumante Pinot Grigio Brut
Formadi frant Our pick Formadi frant is soft and savoury, with cream in the paste and a piquancy that varies from one cheese to the next. A white fermented on its skins for weeks or months has the tannic grip and acidity to stand up to it. Skin-fermented whites (Vitovska, Malvasia, Friulano and blends), Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Gravner Bianco Breg · La Castellada Bianco della Castellada · Skerk Ograde
