Sauro Maule 'Ca'Lombarda' Rosso

We will always champion the table red at DeLaurenti. The weeknight workhorse that can do it all is not above or below anyone. That said, not all table wines are created equal, and the Ca'Lombarda from Sauro Maule is a recent staff favorite for good reason. It's primarily Merlot with a splash of Tai Rosso- a local clone of Grenache. The Merlot shows familiar traits to its counterparts grown in Bordeaux and Washington, but Maule's interpretation has a bit more levity than what you typically find in these regions. The extra bit of Tai Rosso also brings some pleasant acidity and bright, red fruit into the fold.
