Tuscan Pecorino Matured in Morellino Red Wine. Price per 3.5lb Approx. Pecorino Ubriaco-Vinato Cheese or PECORINO AL VINO (WINE PECORINO) is a wonderful Gourmet Italian Cheese which is produced in Tuscany, where the majority of people have got cultivated grape fields (along with olive trees plantations that are very common in the Tuscan countryside). It is true that Tuscany is almost a synonym to red wine and olive oil. The exploitation of all Mother Nature given resources to the last drop by Tuscan countrymen is a good tradition around here. Therefore it wasn’t long before the idea of using the grapes after the production of wine came to the minds of Tuscan entrepreneurs. The left-over grapes are put in "rovere" (that would be oak) barrels along with cheeses for maturation. After few weeks the gourmet italian cheese would take up the typical wine taste and is then prepared for further maturation.
In our province we have the production sites of the world famous "morellino di scansano" red wine. Wine pecorino is a delightful combination of excellent pecorino cheese that we produce with a hint of the world-renowned red wine. (Shelf life 150 days)
