The 1999 Nebbiolo d'Alba Sontuoso could easily pass for a top-notch Barolo. Its bouquet of sweet cherries, melted licorice, and tobacco is followed by a medium to full-bodied red with a certain viscosity, good density, and a texture and flavors reminiscent of cherry cough syrup. It is a very fine value. Drink this classic Nebbiolo over the next 5-6 years.Importer: John Given Wines, Staatsburg, NY; tel. (845) 266-3554
