Aroma

On the nose, this wine expresses a complex and refined bouquet, where the traditional hints of ripe red fruits such as cherry, blackberry and plum blend with aromas of sweet spices, vanilla and light hints of cocoa and tobacco, derived from aging in wood. The woody component adds elegance, with balsamic accents and a light nuance of licorice and dark spices.

Taste

On the palate, the Dogliani DOCG Vassallo aged in wood is full-bodied and well-structured, with silky and enveloping tannins that balance the natural freshness of Dolcetto. The aging in wood gives softness and roundness, integrating the fruity notes with a pleasant complexity of spices. The finish is long and persistent, with an almond aftertaste that recalls the spicy and toasted sensations perceived on the nose.

Serving temperature

Serve at a temperature between 16° and 18°C to enhance the aromatic nuances and the structure of the wine. We recommend using a large glass to allow the wine to oxygenate and best develop its complex aromas.

Food pairings

The Dogliani DOCG Vassallo aged in wood lends itself to robust and tasty dishes, such as roasts, braised meats, game and red meat dishes. It is also perfect with dishes rich in truffles, mature cheeses with a hard rind, and first courses with meat sauce or polenta with rich sauces.
