With cheese
Kopanisti
Our pick Kopanisti is a soft, salty cheese with a woody, peppery taste and marked piquancy. Vinsanto, sweet from sun-dried grapes and aged in oak, keeps a high acidity, and its sugar answers the cheese's salt and spice.
San Michali
Our pick A hard, piquant San Michali offers salt against the sweetness of Vinsanto, a dessert wine from sun-dried grapes whose high acidity keeps the sugar in balance and the pairing from cloying.
