Ubriacone®, a cheese created by Sergio Moro, is an affectionate term in Italian for the “great big drunk.” A delicious cow’s milk cheese bathed in a mixture of local Clinton and Raboso wine, it is then pierced like a gorgonzola to let the aroma and flavor of the wine permeate the cheese to a new degree. It is sharp and fruity on the nose. The pliable paste with a slight crumble is not only visually stunning, with its purple-hued striations, but it also contains a nutty flavor that is quickly followed by a bright winey finish. The cheese is covered with grape leaves to cover the holes of the piercing so that mold will not grow in the holes. Keep the leaf in place when merchandising and cutting the cheese.
Pinna follows the principles of time-honored Sardinian tradition when selecting the finest goat’s milk in Sardinia to produce a hard cheese, with strong fragrant characteristics that come from the special essential oils in the grazing land of the Sardinian hinterland, where goat breeds are raised. The cheese is ready after being aged at least 4 months in Pinna’s traditional cellars. It has a cylindrical shape with flat sides. The rind is dark in color; the texture is hard, compact with an ivory-white color.
