Wine and cheese

Cheese with Sauvignon

Every cheese
Smoked ricotta (scuete fumade) Our pick Scuete fumade is a compact white whey cheese with a smoke note from juniper or beech. A dry Friulian Sauvignon with elderflower and high acidity lifts the mild paste, and its aromatic edge stands up to the smoke. Friuli Sauvignon, Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Venica & Venica Ronco delle Mele Sauvignon · Schiopetto Sauvignon · Russiz Superiore Sauvignon
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
