Unico Zelo Truffle Hound Nebbiolo Barbera 2025

Unico Zelo Truffle Hound Nebbiolo Barbera 2025 is the early-released, approachable, and jovial expression of Barbera and Nebbiolo from Unico Zelo — affectionately known as Truffle Hound, and crafted to retain the higher aromatics and herbal savouriness that give it an amaro-like refreshment. Smoky liquorice and cardamom spice on the nose; lively and juicy on the palate; finishing with a bright and satisfying savoury taste. A unique and deeply enjoyable experience for those seeking something umami-driven and genuinely different.

Appearance

Deep ruby with the vibrant colour of an early-released Nebbiolo and Barbera blend — the lively, inviting hue of a wine crafted for approachability, joviality, and the kind of savoury refreshment that keeps you coming back for another glass.

Aroma

Smoky liquorice and cardamom spice — with the higher aromatics and herbal savouriness that Unico Zelo deliberately retains for the amaro-like character that defines Truffle Hound. Savoury, umami-driven, and immediately intriguing.

Palate

Lively and juicy — driven by a bright palate-weight that carries the smoky liquorice, cardamom spice, and herbal savouriness through to a bright and satisfying savoury finish. The approachable, jovial expression of Nebbiolo and Barbera at its most refreshing and distinctive.

Pairs With

Charcuterie, aged hard cheeses, mushroom dishes, truffle pasta, and umami-rich food of every kind — or simply as the most savoury and satisfying aperitivo for any occasion that calls for something genuinely different. Serve slightly cool.
