Lagrein Perl at Maialino



I am obsessed with this wine. My friend Ben and I split a bottle and then some at Maialino and I fell deeply in love.

I am not embarrassed to tell bartenders and sommeliers I like a fully, juicy, fruity red and this what they gave us. It's a grape I'd never heard of, not that I'm an expert, but even wikipedia wasn't too helpful as it says it's generally not a grape used in single varietal wines. And I couldn't find anywhere to buy it online, very depressing.

If you're at Maialino, I HIGHLY suggest ordering it.
