Ca’ Marrone, Puglia IGT (Italy) 2017

Jun 16, 2019

By Robert Whitley

 One of the great resources in the world for outstanding values in red wine is the province of Puglia along the Adriatic coast in southeastern Italy.  This is a brilliant blend with the native grape Negroamaro at its core and Merlot and Zinfandel in support roles.  The result is a dense, richly layered wine of dark fruits and spice, supple tannins and impressive length.  Plus a stunning price.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
