Cheese with Cantine Pellegrino wines

Pecorino Siciliano 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. Marsala Superiore Riserva, Sicily: Pellegrino Marsala Superiore Riserva 10 Anni
Ricotta Infornata Our pick Baked ricotta is salted and finished with a thin browned skin. The apricot and honey of a sun-dried passito from Pantelleria or the Aeolian islands set sweet against salty, the way a dessert wine meets a blue cheese. Island passito (Pantelleria and Lipari), Sicily: Pellegrino Nes Passito di Pantelleria
Caciocavallo Palermitano Our pick Dry Marsala Vergine is full-bodied and oxidative, with walnut, hazelnut and dried fig and no sweetness. It sets that nuttiness against the piquant, flaky paste of an older caciocavallo, a savoury rather than sweet pairing. Marsala Vergine (dry), Sicily: Pellegrino Marsala Vergine Soleras
Provola dei Nebrodi Our pick Aged provola turns increasingly peppery. A lightly dried or late-picked Moscato or Malvasia, sweet and medium-bodied with apricot and orange blossom, sets sweetness against that pepper, and its acidity keeps it from turning heavy. Sicilian late-harvest Moscato and Malvasia, Sicily: Pellegrino Moscato di Pantelleria
