I was just finishing up my wine that I paired with a goat brie and baguette (casual Monday night eats) when I realized I still had some Samoas (AKA caramel deLites) in my cupboard. I had finished the cheese and was sipping on the last of this v affordable Italian wine I snagged at the local wine shop. I thought the wine was good but nothing to write about. The description said to pair with soft cheese which is why I was eating it with brie. It was pretty strong in alcohol flavor (probably not the best description lol) and had strong floral aromas. It was great with the cheese....BUT THEN I TRIED IT WITH THE SOMOAS AND MY LIFE CHANGED. I honestly think any floral (non oaky) red wine would pair so well with Samoas because of the chocolate and sweet coconut flavors. OMG.
Here's the info on this particular wine that just blossomed when paired with Samoas:
Name: L' Isola dei Profumi, il Rosso
Variety: Nero d'Avola (60%) and Perricone (40%)
