Unico Zelo Truffle Hound Nebbiolo 2017

Unico Zelo is an Australian winery led by Brendan and Laura Carter who have a mission to create food friendly wines that are sustainable at every level.andnbsp; They work organically in their vineyards, mainly with Italian varieties that are well suited to warm sites in Australia which helps eliminate the need for irrigation.andnbsp; Their Truffle Hound bottling is a blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo that is wildly delicious and intentionally very easy going.andnbsp; The grapes were picked early to maintain fresh acidity and avoid harsh tannins but without sacrificing flavor. There is plenty of dark red fruit and earthy flavors in the glass with just a touch of black tea hinting at something more sumptuous.andnbsp; Served with a slight chill, Truffle Hound shows a whole different side to Australian wine that you might not expect.
