Angelo Negro Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva Roero DOCG 2021 - 0,75l

Angelo Negro Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva Roero DOCG 2021 is a Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Roero, with cherry, violet and spice and fine sandy tannins in the finish. This is the Roero side of Nebbiolo in a serious register. The San Giorgio name gives the wine its own focus. Expect rose toned fruit, cool spice and a dry grip made for the table.

About the Wine
The 2021 Angelo Negro Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva Roero DOCG comes from the Roero hills of Piedmont, where Nebbiolo grows on sandy, calcareous soils. The label puts San Giorgio up front, and Angelo Negro presents this bottling as a distinct Riserva selection within its Roero range. Sustainable certification sits in the background, with vineyard work aimed at steady ripeness and clean fruit. The 2021 fruit profile brings ripe cherry, violet and darker Nebbiolo skin. In the glass, that sandy side reads as a finely grained grip around the cherry core. Roero DOCG Riserva rules give this wine a long runway before release. The 2021 spends at least 32 months in total aging with at least 6 months in oak and at least 6 months in bottle. That detail suits this cuvée, which carries 14% alcohol and a dry, structured frame. The Riserva designation also places bottle time in the release rhythm, and the first pour already has a settled feel. The oak impression sits in baking spice and a faint polished edge, with the fruit staying in a cherry and violet register. The final months in bottle leave the cherry and violet notes already knitted into the tannin.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with ripe red cherry and a darker cherry skin note, then violet and a small pinch of baking spice move in behind it, and a little air adds dried rose and cracked tea leaf. On the palate the 2021 Angelo Negro Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva Roero DOCG feels dry and composed, with Nebbiolo tannins that are fine grained, sandy and persistent across the gums. Acidity lifts the red fruit through the middle, and the 14% alcohol gives the wine a warm shoulder with a dry edge that suits the Riserva label. The finish is long and savoury, with violet returning over cherry stone, clove and a light earthy trace that feels tied to the sandy calcareous site. Drink 2025-2033.

Food Pairing
Pour this Nebbiolo with red meat that has a browned edge, such as ribeye with rosemary potatoes or slow cooked beef shin over polenta. For a Piedmont plate, choose tajarin with veal ragù or agnolotti del plin in roast juices, where the wine's cherry and violet notes lift the pasta filling. Aged cheese is a strong match here, especially Castelmagno or long matured toma, as the dry grip in the San Giorgio Riserva cuts into the salt and fat. It also has the shape for porcini risotto, lamb chops with thyme or a simple pasta with sausage and tomato, with the baking spice in the wine echoing roasted and savoury flavours. Braised rabbit with olives and herbs makes sense too, especially if you give the bottle a short decant before dinner.

Producer
Angelo Negro is one of the Roero producers that puts its home hills on the label with unusual clarity, and Ciabot San Giorgio fits that habit through a named Riserva with its own place in the range. The family estate is based in Monteu Roero, an area of steep sandy slopes west of the Tanaro, and its work with Nebbiolo sits beside a well known commitment to Roero Arneis in the same cellars. The concrete trait to notice is the use of named selections, which keeps bottles such as Ciabot San Giorgio separate from the broader Roero bottlings and gives buyers a clear handle on the source on a crowded shelf. You can feel that approach in this 2021 Riserva, where the wine carries the Angelo Negro polish in the tannin and still keeps the fine sandy feel that marks the San Giorgio bottling. The cellar message is calm and measured, with oak playing through clove and baking spice, and the fruit staying in the cherry and violet register from the first pour to the last sip. If you know the producer through Arneis, this bottle gives another side of the same address, with Nebbiolo treated as a fragrant Roero red for long aging and Sunday food.
