What it pairs with

With cheese

Asiago Pressato Our pick 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. Piave Our pick Qualigeo calls fresh Piave milky and sweet. A dry, unoaked Soave Classico with high acidity contrasts with that mildness and keeps the pairing from feeling heavy.
