What type wines pair best with

Italian Salami and Salty Romana cheeses.

The salame I am going to have is the best I have ever had. They are made by
a company in Oakland area called Framani and you can see the web site at
http://framani.com/

Relatively new company but incredible and extravagant treat. I copied this
from their web site.

This stuff is great but what wines do you think other than Chianti goes with
this.

A montepulciano d' abruzzo by Pepe or Valentino or a Rosso Conero or Rosso
Piceno.

Salty Romana Cheeses will probably be Pecorino Romano, made from sheep
milk. It's saltiness is very intense and lasting, cooking with it
involves a reduced use of salt in the recipes.
For pairing, Montepulciano based wines will generally do well, but
there's also a local wine who has an ageworthy version, Cesanese del
Piglio. This geographical approach could be interesting. Obviously, a
bottle aged over 4 years would be better.
For pairing with salami: if you are going to have only one kind of
wine, I'd go with the same choice made for the cheeses: salami is not
as salty as pecorino romano but it's sure tasty, so the same wine
shouldn't be out of place. If you'd choose the wine based on the
salami, instead, yuou could find wines which are nice with salami but
at a total loss against the salty cheese. Will the cheese be aged?

Yes, it would be aged...some crystalization too. :-)

The salame is heavy pork flavor and high in salt. Outstanding, fatty and
balanced. A diabetics DREAM!!!
