Chianti

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.

Why it works with Pecorino Toscano

A medium red like Chianti is the safe everyday choice for Pecorino Toscano.

Sangiovese

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.

A medium red like Sangiovese is the safe everyday choice for Pecorino Toscano.

Red · Medium · Dry

Spain's signature red — bright cherry, dusty earth, and a touch of vanilla from American oak. Soft enough to drink young; structured enough to age beautifully in the right cellar.

Why it works with Pecorino Toscano

Tempranillo's mid-weight handles Pecorino Toscano without overpowering it — neither pulls focus.

Tuscany's only white DOCG — Vernaccia grape, all green apple, citrus, and a faint almond bitterness. A historic wine that earned its reputation honestly.

Why it works with Pecorino Toscano

Vernaccia Di San Gimignano and Pecorino Toscano make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Zinfandel

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Pecorino Toscano

Zinfandel's tannins meet Pecorino Toscano's richness — the classic move for hard, aged cheeses.
