The sheep cheese is wrapped in fig leaves that ensure better preservation and above all release their whey, which hardens the rind and gives it a pleasant floral sensation.
Subsequently, the pecorino thus wrapped is left to mature inside used French oak barrels that previously contained wine suitable for Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG.
The uniqueness of this cheese is not only due to the fact that it is aged wrapped in fig leaves but, above all, that the aging period takes place entirely inside discarded barriques from Valpolicella. At the end of the maturation, the sensations of fig vegetation delicately blend with the winey and vanilla notes of the French oak wood. Very intriguing.

Beautiful floral and herbal sensation of fresh aromatic herbs. There are also hints of vanilla and oak marked by the wine.
The cheese gains a very pleasant and unique flavor during its slow maturation, given by the aromas of the leaves and the oak of the barrels.
To be paired with medium-bodied red wines, such as Tuscan Sangiovese or Alto Adige Lagrein.
