Cozzo Mario 2015 “Surì Mesdì” Langhe Nebbiolo ($19.99)

Cozzo Mario

This 100 percent Nebbiolo from the Langhe is a medium garnet color shading to a clear edge. Its attractive scent of plums adds an earthy hint of red clay and a faint back note of wildflowers. Good, mouth-filling red fruit is framed by fresh acidity and soft tannins. Tart plums, earth, and bright acidity last in a very long finish. 13.5% alcohol. U.S. importer: Martin & Co. Wines Inc., Crescent Springs, Ky.; Tradizione Imports, NYC., and other regional importers. (March 2, 2019)

FOOD MATCH: .
the winery suggests braised meats, game, and cheeses, and those should all make fine companions . The Impossible Burger 2.0 filled in remarkably well in place of beef.

WHEN TO DRINK: It’s ready to enjoy, especially with appropriate food, but it should last, and possibly improve, for three to five more years.

VALUE:
This classy red is fairly priced in the lower to middle $20 range.
