For sauce, nothing beats Costoluto Genovese in my book. It comes through the processor practically finished sauce and it is a tomato that tastes entirely different cooked than raw. I have tried probably 30-50 varieties over the years for sauce and I have always come back to Costoluto Genovese. Costoluto Fiorentino is a close second but is smaller in my garden. I will be trying DiNofrio's German on a small batch of sauce this year. They are HUGE, nearly seedless, meaty and dry and were mid-season in my Wyoming garden. They taste GREAT dried but that may not translate over to sauce.
