Variety Change! Yup, we’ve flipped from this being 100% Nebbiolo to Sangiovese – a few reasons for this.

1 – In 2022 we harvested 450kg of Nebbiolo from the Adelaide Hills vineyard that was at the core of this wine (more on that in a few years). In 2023 we harvested nothing. It’s been a tough few years for this variety and this vineyard.

2 – Sangiovese is a pretty good pasta variety hey?

As much as we love Nebbiolo – and we really love Nebbiolo – the future is bright for Sangiovese and we’ve been working with this fruit for a few years now in Truffle Hound and have been really impressed with the quality, so 2022 was the year to give it a solo release. If the Truffle Hound blend was the Beatles, Nebbiolo would be John, Barbera would be Paul, and for me, Sangiovese is George. So you could say this is our ‘My Sweet Lord’. Apologies for the musical tangent.

About Unico Zelo Wines

Being winemakers, we’re two people incredibly passionate about the soil and produce we have in Australia. It’s our intent to showcase products to the rest of the world that embrace Australian native ingredients and pay homage to the indigenous custodianship who maintained the land for thousands of years.

It’s this passion that has driven us to start two wine labels, one that protects our farmers and another that protects our future. We’ve since taken these concepts and with our distillery, applewood – catapulted it into the horticultural realm – studying indigenous produce, it’s beneficial effects on our land and the stories it can tell through incredible colours, flavours, and textures.

We seek Australian identity in the products we craft and the services we offer. We seek ways to communicate this with an entirely new demographic.

Our hope is that these Australian stories can one-day be heard on a global scale.
