To take your Friday night pizza to the next level, make this incredible pizza and pair it with B Cellars Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel, Blend 24, or Sangiovese. This wine pairs well with the bold, slightly sweet flavors in the sun dried tomato pesto while the tannins help to balance the saltiness and fat found in the cheese and prosciutto.
