Qualigeo lists Collio Ribolla Gialla among the wines for Montasio. These skin-fermented Ribollas from the Collio hills bring tea-like tannin, dried apricot and acidity to meet the granular, crumbly paste of an aged wheel.
Wikipedia's article on Friulian cuisine lists Refosco among the common reds drunk with frico, Montasio and aged latteria. Its acidity and tannin bite into a firm, savoury wheel.
The honey and dried-apricot sweetness of a sweet Verduzzo Friulano, the grape of Ramandolo, softens the smoke and salt of a fresh scuete fumade, while its acidity keeps the pairing from cloying.
