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.Producer Cantina Cielo Country Italy Region Veneto Vintage 2021 Grape Variety Corvina, Merlot ABV 13.5% Bottle Size 75cl Serving Suggestion At room temperature Closure Cork Drinking Guide Enjoy now
