Sicily wine and cheese

Ragusano with Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG

Our pick

The Ragusano consortium's page on use suggests Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG among the reds that pair well with the cheese. The wine's red cherry and high acidity suit a table-aged wheel, and both come from south-eastern Sicily.

Vastedda della Valle del Belice with Grillo

Our pick

Qualigeo's sheet for Vastedda suggests a good Sicilian white, perhaps a Grillo or Chardonnay, besides olive oil and oregano. Grillo's citrus, herbal lift and high acidity freshen the mild, slightly tangy fresh sheep curd.

Pecorino Siciliano with Marsala Superiore Riserva

Our pick

A long-aged, medium-sweet Marsala Riserva, with nutty, dried fig and orange notes, balances the salt and heat of an aged ewe's milk pecorino, and its nutty depth echoes the cheese's slow ripening.
