Tasting Notes

Inside a glass of Angelo Negro Sudisfà

Garnet to the rim, Sudisfà layers red cherry and raspberry with vanilla from 32 months in small oak barrels and the green-pepper lift Angelo Negro notes on its own sheet. Tannins are firm but velvety, the way an aged Roero Riserva should be.

Intense garnet in the glass, opening on red cherry and raspberry lifted by violet. Vanilla from 32 months in small oak barrels sits over the fruit, with a green-pepper top note. The same red-fruit-and-spice picture holds glass after glass.

Palate

The palate is mouth-filling and full-bodied, with a massive surge of structure. Tannins are firm yet sweet and velvety, framed by Nebbiolo's high acidity and a thread of tar. Red fruit is carried by 14% alcohol.

Finish

The finish is long and full-bodied. It closes on dried herb, liquorice and a savoury, chalky edge that reflects the medium-textured limestone soils of Monteu Roero.

Overall

Sudisfà is Angelo Negro's selection of its finest Nebbiolo: an eleven-time Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri Roero Riserva, and a well-liked one. James Suckling gave the 2021 91/100. A structured, age-worthy red for a serious table now or the cellar to 2040.

Wine fit score

How Sudisfà Roero Riserva scores

A structured, age-worthy DOCG Nebbiolo: strong at the table and in the cellar, priced above everyday but below Barolo's benchmark single vineyards.

Best with food 9.0/10

Firm tannin and high acidity make it a natural with braised and grilled red meat, game and white-truffle pasta; a born table wine.

Best for cellar 8.8/10

Riserva-level ageing of 32 months and a producer-stated 15-plus-year window put it firmly in cellar territory.

Best for an occasion 8.5/10

A 91-point, Tre Bicchieri DOCG Riserva at £50-plus is built for a special table or a gift.

Best value 7.2/10

At £51 to £58 it undercuts comparable single-vineyard Barolo while carrying a 91-point, eleven-time Tre Bicchieri pedigree; fair value for a single-selection Riserva.

Best intro to this style 4.5/10

Classic indigenous Nebbiolo, but firm tannin, savoury tertiary notes and a need for cellaring make it a step up from a first red.

Best everyday bottle 2.5/10

Age-worthy structure and a £50-plus price make it an occasion bottle rather than a midweek pour.

Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

The 2021 vintage of Sudisfà

James Suckling scored the 2021 Sudisfà 91/100. A balanced, classic Piedmont growing season gave Nebbiolo with firm structure and a long cellaring runway to 2040.

2021 was a balanced, classic Piedmont vintage: cool nights preserved Nebbiolo's aromatics and built firm, fine-grained tannins. James Suckling rated this 91/100. The structure is set for the long haul, so give it time in the cellar or a generous decant.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

Why Angelo Negro's Sudisfà sits where it does

Sudisfà is the estate's selection of its finest Nebbiolo from Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero and Canale. It is hand-picked in October and held 32 months in small oak barrels and bottle before release.

01

DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean

Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.

Roero is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

02

The denomination rules, in detail

  • Allowed grapes. 2 varieties listed in the disciplinare
  • Tasting panel. Chemical analysis and a tasting commission before sale, required by Italian law for every DOC and DOCG

Best-grapes selection across three Roero communes
  1. 01

    Best-grapes selection across three Roero communes

    Cost up

    Sudisfà is a selection of the finest Nebbiolo from Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero and Canale, hand-picked in 20 kg boxes. Declassifying the rest lifts the cost carried by each bottle made.

  2. 02

    32 months ageing in barrique and bottle before release

    Cost up

    Angelo Negro holds the wine 32 months across small oak barrels and bottle, tying up barrels and cellar space far beyond what an entry Roero needs.

  3. 03

    Hillside guyot vineyards at 250 to 280 m, hand-harvested

    Cost up

    South and south-east chalky slopes trained to guyot and picked by hand cost far more per hectare than machine-friendly flatland.

  4. 04

    Roero's lower profile versus Barolo

    Cost down

    Roero Riserva trades below equivalent single-vineyard Barolo, so at £51 to £58 Sudisfà is priced under Nebbiolo's most famous name despite similar cellar work.

  5. 05

    UK duty and VAT on a still wine

    Cost up

    UK excise of £2.67 per still-wine bottle plus 20% VAT account for roughly £11 to £12 of a £55 shelf price before any retailer margin.

  6. 06

    Eleven Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri awards and a 91-point 2021

    Cost up

    Eleven Tre Bicchieri awards plus James Suckling 91/100 for the 2021 give the label pricing power above unrated Roero peers.

Food Pairing

Nebbiolo structure, Roero perfume: what fits Sudisfà

High acidity and firm tannin make this a partner for fat and protein, from brasato to white-truffle tajarin. Beef, lamb and game are its natural company.

Tannin softening Strong match

Braised beef and Piedmontese ragù

Sudisfà's firm but velvety tannins (the estate's own words) lock onto the collagen and fat of long braises and soften as they go. Nebbiolo's acidity keeps a rich brasato from turning heavy.

Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Agnolotti del Plin · Ossobuco alla Milanese · More pairings →

Body matching Strong match

Grilled red meat and game

Full body and 14% alcohol match the weight of charred beef and game without being flattened. Beef, lamb and venison are what this wine is poured with most.

Try with: Fiorentina steak · Agnello Ragu Lucano · venison · More pairings →

Aromatic bridge Good match

White truffle and porcini

Mature Nebbiolo's tar, dried-herb and earthy tertiary notes bridge to Alba white truffle and porcini, the classic Roero and Langhe table match for an aged Riserva.

Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Truffle risotto · Porcini mushroom risotto · More pairings →

Fat cutting Good match

Rich braises and aged Alpine cheese

High acidity slices through fatty veal shank and the salt of aged Piedmontese cheese, resetting the palate between bites of a long-cooked dish.

Try with: Ossobuco alla Milanese · Brasato al Barolo · aged Castelmagno · More pairings →

Avoid Clash

Chilli heat and delicate white fish

Sudisfà's tannin and 14% alcohol amplify chilli burn, and its structure steamrolls poached white fish or raw seafood. Keep it to substantial savoury dishes.

Skip with: vindaloo · sushi · ceviche · Thai green curry · Pairing guide →

Drinking + cellar

Cellaring the 2021 Sudisfà

Angelo Negro guides more than 15 years of ageing for Sudisfà, bottle stored horizontal. The 2021 should drink well from 2026 to 2040, peaking around 2031.

Drinking window
2021: 2026 to 2040

Peak around 2031. For the main offer above.

Decanting
1 hour

A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.

Serving temperature
16-18°C

Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.

Cellar potential
High

Riserva-level ageing of 32 months and a producer-stated 15-plus-year window put it firmly in cellar territory.

Common Questions

It is a 100% Nebbiolo Roero Riserva DOCG from Azienda Agricola Negro Angelo in Monteu Roero, Piedmont. Sudisfà is the estate's selection of its finest Nebbiolo, aged 32 months and named for the Piedmontese word for satisfied.

A traditional submerged-cap soak on the skins runs about 24 days, then the wine matures 32 months across small oak barrels and bottle before release. The fruit is hand-picked in October from chalky hillside vineyards at 250 to 280 metres.

Expect an intense garnet colour, red cherry and raspberry, vanilla and a green-pepper note, then a full-bodied palate with firm but velvety tannins and a long, savoury finish. It is a well-liked Riserva.

Its tannin and acidity suit rich, savoury dishes: braised beef such as brasato, Piedmontese ragù and agnolotti, grilled red meat and game, and white-truffle or porcini pasta. Avoid chilli heat and delicate white fish.

Angelo Negro states the wine can hold for more than 15 years. The 2021 should drink well from 2026 to around 2040, peaking near 2031; younger bottles benefit from a decant.

Both are Nebbiolo DOCG wines from Piedmont, but Roero sits across the Tanaro on sandier, chalky soils and is often more perfumed and approachable earlier. Roero Riserva also trades below comparable single-vineyard Barolo.
