Nebbiolo – Gumeracha, Adelaide Hills
You know what we are also fond of? PASTA. We’re die-hard pastafarians and love a great Nebb with our bowl of noodles. So, we crafted this wine in an approachable and jovial style built for the new world, with a nod to old world, old school Nebbiolo – perfect with your next Sugo. Aromatically it’s a twist on the classic “tar and roses” adage; think more violets and pencil shavings with a whiff of cardamom from some silky oak. But this is far more red fruited and juicy than your average Nebb, with ripples of strawberries and crushed black olives over the top of a pitch perfect balance of fresh acidity to fine grain tannins. It’s not a Nebbiolo that’s going to rip your face off, but it certainly doesn’t pull any flavor punches. In short, it’s a Unico Zelo take on Nebbiolo – it doesn’t take itself too seriously. A Spaghetti Level Slurper!
