Cheese with Ettore Germano wines

Ossolano Local tradition Qualigeo lists Barolo first among the structured reds it calls the classic match for Ossolano. The elastic, savoury paste with its herbal pasture notes gives Nebbiolo's tannin something to grip, and an older, more intense wheel holds its own. Barolo, Piedmont: Ettore Germano Barolo Cerretta
Castelmagno Our pick Qualigeo pairs Castelmagno with full-bodied reds. The crumbly, piquant paste of an aged wheel, with its blue-green veins, meets Barolo's firm tannin and high acidity, which clear the palate between pieces. Barolo, Piedmont: Ettore Germano Barolo Cerretta
Robiola di Roccaverano Our pick Fresh Robiola di Roccaverano is creamy, savoury and slightly acidic. A dry, mineral Langhe Riesling with racy acidity cuts through the cream and meets the cheese's own tang instead of softening it. Langhe Riesling, Piedmont: Ettore Germano Langhe Riesling Herzu
Gorgonzola Our pick Qualigeo says Gorgonzola Piccante prefers well-structured, aged reds. A very piquant, longer-aged Piccante can overwhelm a delicate wine, so it wants a Barolo with enough tannin and age to stand up to it. Barolo, Piedmont: Ettore Germano Barolo Cerretta
