Impero
Sangue di Giuda (Blood of Judas) is a semi-sparkling sweet red wine whose production is limited to a small area of the eastern part of Oltrepò Pavese. Its low-alcohol content and fruity character makes this wine a very pleasant, easy to drink one. The Sangue di Giuda is produced with three indigenous grapes, grown on clay and limestone soils: Croatina (40%), Barbera (40%) and Uva Rara (20%). We are now converting to organic farming, but we have always been committed to a sustainable approach to vinegrowing, using a minimum of pesticides and antiparasitic treatments.
The name of this wine comes from a legend. Before hanging himself, Judas begged forgiveness to Jesus. Jesus resurrected him, but ordered him to travel all over the world doing good deeds. Endlessly wandering, Judas came to a land of winegrowers named Oltrepò Pavese. Local people recognized him and wanted to kill him, but Judas prayed Jesus to heal their vines from a terrible disease that had affected them. The vines were saved and the winegrowers decided to celebrate the miracle. So, a wine red as blood, sparkling as life and sweet as forgiveness was called Blood of Judas.
