Ca Marrone vs Barbera d'Alba

It is fun to see how some producers try everything to sell their wine. The wine Ca' Marrone is produced by Casa Marrone, and they shorthen the name to Ca' Marrone on the label. Because then it will be a bit similar to Amarone. But tis wine has nothing to do with Amarone or even the Veneto region because it is produced in Puglia. The grapes are 60% Negroamaro, 25% Merlot och 15% Primitivo. The vintage is 2016 and the ABV is 14,5%. The taste is a bit sweet and very fruity, a lot of red fruits. A nice wine, missing some complexity.

Next wine is a wine from Piemonte of the type Barbera d'Alba of vintage 2016 and ABV 14%. The producer is Giacosa Fratelli and the name of the wine is Busije. On the nose there is a lot red fruits. The taste is good with some red cherries, tobacco and prunes. The tannins are quite light and gives some extra complexity. A good wine.
