Nebbiolo

Angelo Negro Sudisfa 2000 (Italy)

Producer: 
Angelo Negro
Item name: 
Angelo Negro Sudisfa 2000 (Italy) $15
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

Sudisfa hails from the Roero District and D.O.C. The nose is complex, with essences of strawberry and faint eucalyptus. Due to the heavy tannins, the wine requires several hours of decanting. This highly structured wine bears witness to flavors of leather, smoke, and cassis. Osso Bucco is a wonderful compliment. Like most nebbiolo and barbera based wines from this region, time will only continue to improve this wine. Drink now or hold through 2010.
