Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The one wine to rule them all (for pasta, that is) – and the unofficial wine of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Thy Noodle Come, Thy Sauce Be Yum, R'Amen.
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."
