With cheese

Casatella Trevigiana Local tradition Qualigeo says Casatella goes well with white and sparkling wines such as Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco. The cheese is soft, sweet and milky, and a dry Valdobbiadene's acidity and fine bubbles cut the creaminess between bites. Montasio Local tradition Qualigeo lists Prosecco DOP among the wines of the Montasio zone that it is paired with. Young Montasio is milky and soft; a dry Prosecco's acidity and bubbles lift that richness and leave the mouth clean. Schiz Our pick Schiz is browned in butter, finished with cream and eaten with polenta. A dry Valdobbiadene brings acidity and fine bubbles that cut the butter and cream and leave the plain milk flavour clear.
