With cheese
Monte Veronese
Our pick Monte Veronese is a semi-cooked cow's-milk cheese from the Verona mountains, delicate when young and slightly piquant with age. A Soave Superiore, a medium-bodied Garganega-based white with high acidity, has the weight for the paste and cuts its fat.
Asiago d'Allevo
Our pick Asiago d'Allevo Mezzano is compact with sweet notes, turning savoury and grainy as it ages. Garganega fermented or aged in oak barriques has a rounder texture that matches the firm paste, and its high acidity keeps the pairing fresh.
