Abruzzo wine and cheese

Pecorino di Farindola with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Our pick

An aged Farindola is mushroomy and hay-scented and only mildly piquant. A dry Montepulciano d'Abruzzo meets those woodland notes with its fruit, and the moist sheep's-milk paste softens the wine's tannin.

Canestrato di Castel del Monte with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva

Our pick

A canestrato aged beyond a year is creamy yet piquant, with chestnut and spice. A full-bodied riserva has the weight to match it, and its tannin is softened by the fat of the paste.

Pecorino di Atri with Trebbiano d'Abruzzo

Our pick

Young Pecorino di Atri, eaten at about 10 days, is soft, white and faintly acidic. A Trebbiano d'Abruzzo with high acidity echoes that and keeps the pairing light and fresh.
