CHEESE and DAIRY dishes

It is now a well-established habit that Sicilian cheeses are tasted with the help of honey and jams of the territory that give them different flavors, basically sweet. In this case, the principle that they must be combined with a PASSITO DOC SICILIA or a SIRACUSA DOC MOSCATO applies absolutely. However I prefer a ZIBIBBO SICILIA DOC.

In all other cases, the following tips apply.

SHEEP'S RICOTTA

I suggest a COUNTY OF SCLAFANI DOC PINOT BIANCO or SAUVIGNON.

MOZZARELLA AND DELICATE AND FRESH CHEESES

I suggest a SICILIA DOC BIANCO INSOLIA IN BLEND.

CACIOCAVALLO IBLEO OR PALERMITANO

The SEMI-SEASONED one goes very well with MARSALA DOC VERGINE.

The SEASONED one, better to a SICILIA DOC SYRAH.

GOAT CHEESES

I prefer a combination with sicilia doc sauvgnon.

RAGUSANO PDO

The SEMI-SEASONED one goes very well with MARSALA DOC VERGINE.

The SEASONED one, better to a Sicily white wines, while the seasoned one prefers a SICILY DOC SYRAH.

THE SICILIAN CANESTRATO

I find excellent pairing with a SICILY DOC RED CABERNET SAUVIGNON IN PURITY.

THE SICANO FLOWER

It goes very well with a SICILIA DOC NERELLO MASCALESE. A OF SHEEP

PECORINO SICILIANO PDO

The FRESH or SEMI-SEASONED one goes very well with MARSALA DOC VERGINE. 

For the SEASONED one, better to a MONREALE CABERNET SAUVIGNON DOC.

THE PIACENTINU ENNESE

I find ideal the combination with a CERASUOLO DI VITTORIA DOCG.

THE PROVOLA IBLEA

It goes well with a CERASUOLO DI VITTORIA DOCG.

THE PROVOLA OF THE NEBRODI

When it is not very seasoned, it goes perfectly with an ETNA DOC BIANCO. 

When it is SEASONED it goes perfectly with a FARO DOC.

PRIMOSALE

I like the combination with a SICILIA DOC CHARDONNAY, however sometimes I have combined it with pleasure also with a MALVASIA DELLE LIPARI DOC.

THE LOST TUMA

It goes very well with a SICILIA DOC NERELLO MASCALESE.

THE VASTEDDA OF THE BELICE VALLEY

It goes very well with a FRAPPATO DOC SICILIA.

THE MAJORCAN

It goes very well with Malvasia delle Lipari DOC and MARSALA DOC VERGINE.

BAKED RICOTTA

It goes very well with an ETNA ROSSO DOC.
