What to pour with their cheese

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.

Fatulì della Val Saviore with Franciacorta Rosé

Our pick

Slow Food describes fatulì as smoky, with herbal and dried-fruit notes and a long finish. A Pinot Nero based Franciacorta Rosé brings red fruit that stands up to the smoke, and its acidity and bubbles cut the elastic goat's-milk paste.

Silter with Franciacorta Riserva

Our pick

Long-aged Silter is hard and crumbly, mostly sweet and faintly peppery, with dried fruit, forage and chestnut flour on the nose. A full-bodied Franciacorta Riserva, long on its lees, has the depth for those notes, and its acidity cuts the dense paste.
