Red · Full · Dry
Veneto's heavyweight — dried grapes give wines of remarkable concentration, raisin, dark fig, and a faint bitter-chocolate finish. Sip with hard cheese; never with a salad.
Why it works with Aged Provolone
Amarone's tannins meet Aged Provolone's richness — the classic move for hard, aged cheeses.
An uncatalogued varietal or single-vineyard wine. Taste before pairing: assess color, weight, and any obvious sweetness, then plate accordingly.
Why it works with Aged Provolone
Eiswine and Aged Provolone make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.
Why it works with Aged Provolone
Port's nutty oxidative character flatters Aged Provolone — Port and Stilton for a reason.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.
Why it works with Aged Provolone
Sauternes's sweetness echoes Aged Provolone's tang — the magic of blue cheese with Sauternes is real, and works for many cheeses.
