A dry, steel-raised Soave Classico echoes the sweet, milky flavour of fresh Asiago without covering it, and its high acidity cuts through the soft, buttery paste.
For a Grana Padano aged 20 months or more, the fine, granular, savoury paste meets Torcolato's apricot jam, honey and dried fig, and the passito's lively acidity stops the sweetness from cloying.
Fresh Asiago Pressato is sweet and slightly tangy, with a soft, buttery paste. An Extra Dry Prosecco carries a touch of sweetness that meets the milky flavour, while its acidity and bubbles clear the butter from the palate.
