Tuscany wine and cheese

Pecorino Toscano with Chianti Classico and Chianti

Our pick

Aged Pecorino Toscano is firm and fragrant, with a sweet rather than salty taste. Chianti's high acidity and cherry fruit cut through the paste, and the cheese's mildness leaves the wine's grip intact.

Pecorino di Pienza with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Our pick

A semi-aged Pienza is slightly savoury with herbal notes, an aged one intense and well salted. Vino Nobile, Sangiovese with high acidity and a tannic grip, handles the salt and keeps the herbal notes in view.

Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane with Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

Our pick

The stagionato and da asserbo (6 to over 12 months) are firm, herbal and peppery. Gran Selezione, the top Chianti Classico tier, is full-bodied with firm tannin and high acidity, so a wheel of that age is not overwhelmed.
