Losito e Guarini "C'era una volta" Sangue di Giuda dell' Oltrepò Pavese Dolce Frizzante 2023 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Legend has it that Judas, repentant of his betrayal of Jesus, was resurrected after his death, who knows why, in Broni, in Oltrepò. On recognizing him, the inhabitants tried to kill him. But Judas was able to make up for it again by healing the diseased vines. And so, in gratitude, a wine was dedicated to him. Just legends, of course. But nice to tell your friends before you open a bottle like this. Losito & Guarini's Sangue di Giuda comes from a blend of Croatina, Barbera, Uva Rara and Nespolina grapes, all typical varieties of the area. The vinification is accurate and does not involve the use of wood for aging. The result is a wine characterized by a beautiful deep ruby colour, with purple reflections and covered by a compact and persistent foam. The nose is intense, persistent and richly fruity, with notes of raspberry jam, blueberry, blackberry and hints of violet. In the mouth it is sweet but fresh. A lovely velvety red that goes well with tarts or delicately herbed cheeses. ...
