2023 Vinchio Vaglio, Dolcetto Riocrosio
- In stock, ready to ship
ABOUT THE WINE
The story of Vinchio and Vaglio Serra is the story of their inhabitants’ love for Monferrato, a difficult and lean land, with steep slopes overhanging vines at the edge of the woods. Despite the challenging landscape, on these hills the sun shines all day long, frost and fog are absent and the rows of grapes only shadow themselves from dawn to dusk. Founded in 1959, Vinchio Vaglio produces exceptional quality wines from this challenging yet rewarding landscape.
TASTING NOTES
Riocrosio Piemonte D.O.C. Dolcetto is a typical dry red wine from Piedmont. The wine has a red ruby colour with violet hues and an intense fruity nose. On the palate, the wine is vinous and fresh with tertiary aromas of freshly cut grass, mint and eucalyptus. It is dry, savoury, persistent and fresh with hints of hay on the finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Aperitif with cheese or salami board, all kind of starters or light first course dishes, noodle or vegetable soups, salads, white meats.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
The name refers to a spring called “Crosio”, from the dialectal word “crös” meaning a deep dug out, which gushed out in the deep ditch at the foot of Monte del Mare, a fascinating hill between the Vinchio and Vaglio Serra villages.
