Dorset Blue Vinny | Baccolo Rosso Appassimento
The Cheese:
Dorset Blue Vinny is a multi-award winning English blue cheese, little known outside the West Country. Made at Woodbridge Farm using a 300-year-old recipe with hand-skimmed milk from Holstein-Friesian cows, it’s exceptionally creamy with a mellow blue taste and flavoursome edible rind. This is blue cheese for people who think they don’t like blue cheese.

The Wine:
Baccolo Rosso is an Appassimento from the Veneto district of Italy – grapes are partially dried to concentrate flavours, creating a wine with rich dried fruit character, gentle sweetness, and velvety texture.
Why They Work Together:
Blue cheese needs a wine with enough richness and sweetness to balance its savoury intensity, and Appassimento is perfect. The dried fruit super ripe & rich red cherry flavours of Baccolo Rosso complements the creamy, mellow blue character of the Vinny, while the wine’s natural sweetness tempers the cheese’s saltiness.
