These ‘ubriaco’ or drunken cheeses are macerated in Traminer wine and grape must for 10 days, a reference to when cheeses were hidden from landlords and tax collectors. Made in the Veneto region of Northern Italy, the Perenzin family use local traditions to influence their modern style cheeses.
As the cheese matures, grape skins are retained on the rind, which imparts a floral character to the mild, goat’s milk flavour.
