Wine and cheese

Umbria cheese with Sauvignon Blanc

All Umbria pairings
Caciottone di Norcia Our pick The riserva caciottone is fragrant, persistent, with a marked cream aftertaste. A full-bodied noble-rot white with sweetness and high acidity sets sugar against that cream and keeps it from cloying. Orvieto Muffa Nobile and Umbrian noble-rot whites, Umbria: Muffato della Sala · Pourriture Noble
Ricotta salata della Valnerina Our pick Strong and lightly salty, this ricotta is eaten with oil and pepper or grated over pasta. A fresh, dry white with high acidity refreshes the salt and leaves the cheese's flavour to speak. Fresh Umbrian whites (Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, blends), Umbria: Conte della Vipera
