Cheese with Tua Rita wines

Pecorino Toscano Our pick An aged Pecorino Toscano is firm and fragrant, sweet rather than salty, so it does not sharpen the tannin of these structured Sangiovese-led reds. Their high acidity cuts through the paste. Sangiovese-led Tuscan reds (Toscana IGT), Tuscany: Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco
Pecorino a Latte Crudo della Maremma Our pick The riserva end of this raw-milk sheep cheese, 180 days and beyond, is firm enough to meet Tuscan reds built on or blended with Cabernet, Merlot or Syrah, whose tannin and high acidity cut through the fat. Tuscan reds with Cabernet, Merlot or Syrah (Toscana IGT and Maremma Toscana), Tuscany: Tua Rita Redigaffi · Tua Rita Giusto di Notri
