Pungent and funkier cheeses need a lighter wine to balance the palate. The heavy mouthfeel and strong flavor of gorgonzola are best matched with a sweeter wine for a refreshing change. Gorgonzola Dolce is a mildly sweeter version of the classic Italian blue. It’s also rich and creamy, perfect for pairing with fruits or drizzled with honey. Match this cheese with the Villa Amoroso Moscato Vino Dolce, a vibrant Moscato with sweet and floral hints. Its semi-fruity flavors of peach and citrus with floral aromas and a light fizz cut through the strong flavor of gorgonzola beautifully.

French Brie 60% Double Cream is an ultra-creamy version of the cheese with perfectly balanced mild, sweet and ripe flavors to go with its texture. Get a French Pinot Noir like the 2019 Roche Mazet Pinot Noir that has hints of red fruit, black fruit and spice.
