Unico Zelo Pastafarian 2021, Nebbiolo, Adelaide Hills, South Australia

We're incredibly lucky to work with one of the most prestigious vineyards of Nebbiolo in this country, with some of Australia's most revered examples coming from the place we call home - Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills. We hand pick the fruit as a team - generally the signal of the end of vintage - head back to the winery, have lunch, and process the fruit in the afternoon. It's a wine that we've always had a great fondness for.

You know what we are also fond of? PASTA. We're die-hard pastafarians and love a great Neb with our bowl of noodles. So, we craft 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. But this is far more red fruited and juicy than your average, with ripples of balsamic strawberries and chinotto over the top of a pitch perfect balance of acid to tannin. It's not a Nebbiolo that's going to rip your face off, but it certainly doesn't pull any flavour punches. In short it's a Unico Zelo take on Nebbiolo - it doesn't take itself too seriously. A Spaghetti Level Slurper!
