With cheese
Sextner Almkäse
Our pick The Käserei Sexten suggests light, fruity white wines for its Almkäse. A medium-bodied Alto Adige Pinot Bianco with high acidity, raised mostly in steel, is fresh enough for a very soft cheese that runs from mild to spicy.
Toblacher Stangenkäse
Our pick The cheese is mild-sour with a tender, sliceable paste (Sennerei Drei Zinnen). A medium-bodied Alto Adige Pinot Bianco with fresh fruit and high acidity meets that gentle sourness and clears the palate between slices.
