Sangue di Giuda
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Recognized since 2011, Sangue di Giuda DOC is a sweet, dessert-style red wine produced in Lombardy, specifically within four municipalities including Bosnasco and Santa Maria della Versa. What distinguishes this denomination from its dry Oltrepò Pavese siblings is its nature as a sweet, off-dry counterpart, strictly blended from a base of at least 25% Barbera and 25% Croatina. Harvested at a maximum yield of 10.5 t/ha, the wine is bottled as still, frizzante, or spumante. To protect its young, fresh profile, the rules explicitly forbid any premium aging designations like 'riserva', 'superiore', or 'vecchio', marking a complete departure from neighbouring dry red standards.
