With cheese
Gorgonzola
Our pick Sweet against salty and veined: a Dolce Gorgonzola, soft with a sweet to slightly piquant flavour, meets a sweet, low-alcohol, fizzy Moscato whose sugar and bubbles refresh the palate.
Robiola di Roccaverano
Our pick The goat cheese is creamy, savoury and slightly acidic. A lightly sparkling, low-alcohol sweet Moscato d'Asti softens that tang, and its bubbles clear the creaminess from the palate.
