The “pecorino di fossa” is produced in our dairy and is matured in natural and well ventilated caves carved into the tuff. The seasoning takes place for about three months, according to a complex and difficult technique that only a few know. The cheese achieves a particularly and intense taste and

persistent aromas. It is a cheese with a complex flavour, suitable for important occasions, to match with wines with a great structure such as Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano.
