Viva Bene - Life Is Good =)

Last night was one of those awesome nights of Good Friends, Good Wine, Good Times!

We ordered various pizzas, and paired them with Viva Bene Sangiovese.  We had a Caprese salad, and I ate a fresh tomato, mozzarella, basil & garlic pizza (the #2 specialty pizza at Cavallo's in Nutley).  We had also ordered the grilled chicken, roasted peppers with fresh mozzarella pizza (#13).  Delicious dinner.

Paired with a delicious wine.  This red is somewhat acidic with almost a slight citrus note to it initially.  Over time, you get a nice whiff of cherries on the nose.  What I enjoyed in this wine is the ripe strawberry notes.  Very light tannins.  Nice, well-balanced and very enjoyable with dinner. 

While not the best, most delicious wine ever, the company certainly elevated it!  Not bad at all though, I'd definitely drink it again.  Life is Good - Viva Bene!

In Vino Veritas!
