Franciacorta wine and cheese

Bagòss with Franciacorta Brut Millesimato or Riserva

Our pick

The Franciacorta consortium's pairing guide lists polenta with Bagòss under Brut and marks it best with a Millesimato or Riserva. Longer time on the lees gives these wines depth, and their high acidity meets aged Bagòss, flaky and saffron-scented.

Silter with Franciacorta Brut

Our pick

Qualigeo suggests Franciacorta DOP with Silter, which is mostly sweet and crumbly, peppery when long aged, with dried fruit on the nose. A Franciacorta Brut brings high acidity and fine bubbles that lift the hard, crumbly paste.

Quartirolo Lombardo with Franciacorta Satèn

Our pick

Quartirolo is slightly acidic and aromatic, with a compact, crumbly paste that melts more easily as it ages. A Chardonnay-led Satèn, bottled at lower pressure for a softer mousse, matches that gentle texture and lifts the milky tang without scrubbing the palate.
