Sangue di Giuda, which translates literally as "Blood of Judas," is a low-alcohol sweet frizzante red produced under its own DOC within the Oltrepo Pavese hills of Lombardy. Bruno Verdi's version comes entirely from the Paradiso vineyard, where the soils contain more limestone than the sandy plots closer to the winery — a condition that suits Croatina and Uva Rara particularly well. The blend is 65% Croatina, 20% Uva Rara (also known as Bonarda Novarese), and 15% Barbera, all harvested by hand.
Frequent pump-overs during fermentation extract color and build body. Fermentation is arrested by filtration before the wine goes dry, leaving approximately 9 grams per liter of residual sugar and an ABV of 7.5%. The wine then undergoes secondary fermentation in autoclave, which produces the gentle mousse that defines the style. Around 16,000 bottles are made each vintage, with roughly 25% exported to the United States.
In the glass, this is deep ruby-purple with a violet froth. On the nose and palate: fresh red cherry, raspberry, a faint floral note, and bright acidity that cuts through the sweetness cleanly. It is not cloying. Serve well-chilled and open carefully — the bottle is under pressure. Best consumed young and fresh.
