Wine and cheese

Valpolicella cheese with Croatina

All Valpolicella pairings
Monte Veronese 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. Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella: Corte Rugolin Crosara de le Strie Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Monte Veronese di malga Our pick Monte Veronese di malga, aged long, turns hard and slightly granular with butter, hazelnut and a spicy edge. A Riserva Amarone, dry, full and seasoned by years of ageing, matches that depth, and the cheese's fat softens the wine's structure. Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva, Valpolicella: Corte Rugolin Monte Danieli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva
Grana Padano 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.
