What to pour with their cheese

Monte Veronese with Amarone della Valpolicella

Our pick

Old d'allevo is the sharpest, most peppery Monte Veronese, a cheese for the end of a meal. Amarone, dry and full-bodied from dried grapes and long ageing, has the weight and alcohol to stand up to it. Serve a small piece.

Grana Padano with Recioto della Valpolicella

Our pick

Recioto is a sweet red from dried grapes. Against aged, granular Grana Padano the cheese's salt and savoury crunch play off the wine's sugar, a milder version of the sweet and salty contrast of Recioto with blue cheese.

Monte Veronese with Valpolicella Ripasso

Our pick

D'allevo has a harder rind and a savoury, slightly peppery paste. A Ripasso, refermented on the dried-grape pomace left from Amarone, is dry with more body than a young Valpolicella and less weight than Amarone, enough to meet that savoury bite.
