🌟 A bold, juicy Aussie red with an Italian accent — vibrant, earthy, and irresistibly food-friendly.

👁 In the Glass:
Medium ruby with a garnet rim — bright, energetic, and inviting.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and wild, with upfront aromas of blackberry, bitter cherry, and dried herbs, wrapped in a lift of anise, earthy spice, and a hint of leather. There's an almost savoury quality that nods to its Italian roots.

👅 On the Palate:
Supple and zippy, with juicy dark fruit at the core — think black cherry, boysenberry, and plum skin — supported by crisp acidity and a lightly grippy tannin that gives structure without heaviness. The Barbera brings lush fruit and lift, while Nebbiolo adds nuance, dry persistence, and a touch of rustic charm. The finish is clean, earthy, and lingering with notes of dried herbs and black tea.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
Perfect with charcuterie boards, wood-fired pizza, pasta with wild mushrooms, or grilled lamb skewers — anything rustic, herby, or truffle-accented.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Deliciously drinkable now for its freshness and fruit, but will evolve over 4–6 years, gaining notes of leather, dried rose, and forest floor with time.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Truffle Hound is a brilliantly expressive red that bridges Aussie energy and Italian soul, made for the table and crafted with intention. It’s a wine for adventurous drinkers — vibrant, earthy, and packed with character, perfect for those who crave authenticity with a twist.
