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.

- Typical of Nebbiolo
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where to buy the 2021 Sudisfà Roero Riserva
Live UK listings for the 2021 run about £51 to £58, against a European average near €47. Stock is thin, as befits a single-selection Riserva made only from the best grapes of the vintage.
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.
Firm tannin and high acidity make it a natural with braised and grilled red meat, game and white-truffle pasta; a born table wine.
Riserva-level ageing of 32 months and a producer-stated 15-plus-year window put it firmly in cellar territory.
A 91-point, Tre Bicchieri DOCG Riserva at £50-plus is built for a special table or a gift.
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.
Classic indigenous Nebbiolo, but firm tannin, savoury tertiary notes and a need for cellaring make it a step up from a first red.
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.

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.

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.
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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.

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.
Peak around 2031. For the main offer above.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Riserva-level ageing of 32 months and a producer-stated 15-plus-year window put it firmly in cellar territory.
£51.13 for a 75cl bottle of the 2021, at Great Wines Direct, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

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.
