Unico Zelo Truffle Hound Nebbiolo Barbera 2025 is the early-released, approachable, and jovial expression of Barbera and Nebbiolo from Unico Zelo β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” or simply as the most savoury and satisfying aperitivo for any occasion that calls for something genuinely different. Serve slightly cool.

Winemaking Notes

An early-released blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera crafted by Unico Zelo to retain the higher aromatics and herbal savouriness that deliver the amaro-like refreshment that defines Truffle Hound. Lively, juicy, and driven by savoury umami character β€” the approachable and jovial counterpart to Unico Zelo’s more serious Italian-variety expressions.

Producer History

Unico Zelo is one of Australia’s most exciting and distinctive natural wine producers β€” a winery with a singular focus on Italian grape varieties grown in Australian conditions, and a philosophy of producing wines that are as expressive, honest, and individual as the varieties themselves. Truffle Hound is the fullest and most joyful expression of that philosophy β€” early-released, approachable, and affectionately named for the dog that sniffs out the best things in life. Savoury, lively, and unmistakably Unico Zelo.
