This cheese comes from our research and the passion we have for cheese making. It is refined with ‘’vinacce’’, the grape skins left over from the production of the excellent wines of our area. The grape skins chosen depend on the period of the year in which the cheese is refined (affinatura) and range from Bianco Vergine della Valdichiana, Sangiovese, Merlot and Trebbiano to the dried grapes used for Vin Santo and other dessert wines (Malvasia and Occhio di Pernice). This refining process gives the cheese its unique, specific flavour and distinctive sweet wine aroma, as well as giving softness to the paste even if aged over six months.
Pasteurised sheep MILK, milk enzymes, rennet and salt. Treated with grape marc, may contain SULPHITES.
Allergens: Milk and milk derivatesTrace allergens: Sulphites
Milk origin:
Italy
SHAPE: bowl-shaped, typical of all Tuscan pecorino cheese, cylindrical with flat surfaces and rounded sides.
EXTERNAL FEATURES: although it is aged, the rind is thin and its medium consistency is due to the moistness provided by the grape skins. The rind carries some traces of grape skins which remain on it from the refining, it is ivory white with burgundy to dark purplish spots also from the grape skins (the colour depends on the grapes used).
INTERNAL FEATURES: the cheese paste is quite moist and compact, slightly chalky and has small irregular eyes. The colour varies from white to a very pale yellow; the undercrust may appear in some pieces, depending on the position of the piece in the barriques.
AROMA: scents of sour milk, yogurt and some hints of raw potato as well as a typical alcohol and fermented-like aroma which depends on the type of grapes used.
TASTE: balanced, slightly salty and acidic, crumbly and lumpy.
- Food pairings:
Great on a cheese platter, as starter, and for a tasting of pecorino cheeses. Best paired with a structured and important wine or a good artisanal beer.
- Wine pairings:
Structured and aged red wines
