Cheese with Falezze di Luca Anselmi wines
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: Falezze Amarone della Valpolicella
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: Falezze Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva
Grana Padano
Our pick Grana Padano aged past a year is granular, savoury and salty. A dry Valpolicella Superiore has more body than a young Valpolicella and the acidity to cut the cheese's fat, while the salt in the paste brings the wine's fruit forward.
