Pecorino Toscano Stagionato
Sud Forno Executive Chef Giovanna Alonzi and Terroni Queen Wine Director Graeme Moore continue their monthly collaboration, pairing wine and food with intention. Drawing from Terroni favourites and seasonal inspirations, each pairing is grounded in Italian tradition and meant to be enjoyed at your own table.
Enjoy this month's perfect pairing for Passito Albana di Romagna DOCG Arrocco featured in the premium case for May 2026.
For this wine, Giovanna and Graeme recommend Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP, a firm, aged sheep's milk cheese from Tuscany. Its nutty, savoury character and crystalline texture create a beautiful contrast to the wine's richness, while its lingering sweetness complements the dried fruit, honey and citrus notes found in the Passito
If Pecorino Toscano Stagionato is unavailable, Pecorino di Pienza, Fiore Sardo or a Canestrato cheese (Romano or Pugliese) are excellent alternatives that offer a similarly balanced pairing.
