Sangue di Giuda, “Paradiso”, Oltrepò Pavese Rosso, Dolce Vivace

Sangue di Giuda, literally translating to The Blood of Judas, is a low-alcohol, sweet wine with a spritz. Its red fruit notes paired to refreshing acidity, gentle tannins, and slight mousse make it an ideal match for foods that most other wines struggle to complement: perfect for Cajun foods, Sichuanese cuisine, or spicy sausages. Made from a blend of 65% Croatina, 20% Uva Rara (aka Bonarda Novarese) and 15% Barbera, all harvested from the “Paradiso” vineyard, frequent pumpovers extract color and add body. Fermentation is stopped by filtration, leaving the wine with about 90 grams of residual sugar and an alcohol level of 8%.  Approximately 16,000 bottles are produced annually, 25% of which are imported into the States.
