Wine and cheese

Tuscany cheese with Sangiovese (Morellino)

All Tuscany pairings
Pecorino a Latte Crudo della Maremma Our pick Both come from the Maremma. Morellino is a Sangiovese red with cherry fruit, tannin and high acidity; choose a pecorino at the older end of the 20 to 180 days and beyond range, so the cheese is firm enough to meet it.
