Description
Crafted from Nebbiolo and Barbera grown on Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills vineyards, this is Unico Zelo’s take on an approachable, aromatic red blend, designed for pure drinking pleasure. Paying tribute to its Northern Italian inspirations, it’s a fresh, modern Aussie red with a playful edge.
Affectionately dubbed "Truffle Hound," the winemaking approach focuses on retaining the blend’s signature herbal aromatics and meaty, umami undertones. The fruit is picked early to preserve its lively energy, then carefully vinified to highlight amaro-like notes of liquorice, smoky cardamom spice, and earthy savouriness. A juicy mid-palate provides texture and drive, while a bright finish ties it all together seamlessly.
With just 11.5% ABV, this red is built for versatility at the table, but it truly shines as the ultimate pizza wine. Whether you’re tucking into a truffle mushroom pie or your favourite Margherita, it’s a match made in foodie heaven.
Truffle Hound encapsulates everything Unico Zelo stands for—joyful, food-friendly wines that celebrate Australia’s evolving wine culture and its connection to the land. Perfectly enjoyable now, no cellaring required.
