Which wine pairs well with roquefort?
Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC
The rounded, harmonious Pinot Grigio brings out all of the savoury vibrance of the speck and Roquefort to perfection. The ideal pairing for this dish.
Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC
With its slight residual sweetness, the youthful Gewürztraminer makes an exciting contrast to the spiciness of the speck and the bitter note of the cheese.
