Cheese with Feudi del Pisciotto wines

Ragusano 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. Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Sicily: Feudi del Pisciotto Cerasuolo di Vittoria
Vastedda della Valle del Belice 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. Grillo, Sicily: Feudi del Pisciotto Grillo
Pecorino Siciliano Our pick The consortium says the piquancy of aged Pecorino Siciliano grows over 4 to 8 months. A Nero d'Avola with dark fruit and medium tannin stands up to the salt and spice; Qualigeo suggests bread and olives to tame the sharpness. Nero d'Avola, Sicily: Feudi del Pisciotto Versace Nero d'Avola
