Unico Zelo Terra Cotta 2023
$31.00
For those who have enjoyed Unico’s ‘dip a toe’ Orange wine Esoterico this is certainly more of a ‘graceful cannonball in the deep end’ style of orange/skin contact wine. Unashamably orange in all it’s glory. In fact recently someone asked me “have you got anything more Orangey from Unico?” Step up Terra Cotta Greco.
Fermented on skins until dry (14 days) in a blend of Amphora & Stainless steel. Racked off lees and matured in stainless steel for 9 months.
“Named Terra Cotta for the colour of the dirt that it’s grown in, but now we’ve experimented with fermentation in our Amphora. Phenolics and acidity are Greco’s two claims to fame, and when made with extended skin contact, can take a variety that’s primarily used for blending in Campagnia and transform it into a compelling and complex wine. The tannin profile here is sublime – a firm, silty frame for the wine. Flavour wise it’s all mango, papaya, blood orange – a litany of tropical fruits. Banging stuff” – Unico Zelo
