2023 Nero d’Avola Wine | Unico Zelo Fresh A.F. Bold Flavors

Unico Zelo’s 2023 Nero d’Avola & Zibibbo Red Wine is a bold yet refreshingly vibrant choice for lovers of crisp red blends from Australia’s hidden gems. Crafted in the pioneering Riverland region of South Australia—a landscape shaped by ancient soils and sandy limestone layers—this wine defies expectations with its lively character and sustainable ethos.

The winemaking team at Unico Zelo sought to highlight Italy’s Nero d’Avola grape in Australia’s warm climate, leveraging its natural drought resistance to create a water-efficient wine that’s both juicy and aromatic. Paired with Zibibbo (a Sicilian white variety), this unconventional blend delivers an explosive nose of wild berries and citrus zest, balanced by a smooth, mineral-driven finish thanks to Riverland’s unique terroir.

Perfect for summer sipping or casual dinners, this 13% ABV red offers surprising freshness without sacrificing depth—a rare find in full-bodied reds. Its minimalist approach shines: no artificial additives in vineyard or winery except trace sulfites at bottling ensures purity of flavor while maintaining vegan-friendly standards.

Whether you’re seeking an eco-conscious wine with low environmental impact or a bold yet easy-drinking option for weeknights, this avant-garde blend stands out. It’s crafted for those who crave innovation in Australian wines—think sun-kissed fruitiness paired with earthy complexity from centuries-old soils. Ideal for pairing with grilled vegetables, spicy dishes, or simply enjoying poolside, this wine proves that sustainability and bold flavor can coexist beautifully.

Unico Zelo’s Riverland Red isn’t just a bottle; it’s a testament to pioneering viticulture and a refreshing alternative to heavier reds. Elevate your table or unwind effortlessly with this standout example of modern Australian winemaking at its finest.
