Wine and cheese

All Veneto pairings
Grana Padano Our pick 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. Breganze Torcolato, Veneto: Maculan Torcolato Breganze
