Wine and cheese

Umbria cheese with Barbera

All Umbria pairings
Pecorino stagionato in botte Our pick A sliceable sheep's milk pecorino rubbed with olive oil and herbs wants a red with grip but not heavy tannin. Sangiovese-led Montefalco Rosso gives red fruit, medium tannin and freshness that carry the thyme and mint notes. Montefalco Rosso DOC, Umbria: Boccatone · Montefalco Rosso
Pecorino Toscano Our pick Qualigeo calls Pecorino Toscano sweet and never salty or piquant. Medium-bodied, Sangiovese-based Umbria IGT reds with low to medium tannin and medium acidity sit easily beside it and do not sharpen the cheese. Medium-bodied Sangiovese reds (Umbria IGT), Umbria: Il Padrone delle Vigne Rosso
