I met this wine in this year's Food Expo. Having seen that it lists a grape that I had not tasted, I had a try. The grape concerned was Uva Rara, which will be dealt with in another tidbit, though it had already been mentioned in a previous blog that it was one of 4 grapes called Bonarda. Another grape in the blend that makes up this wine is also known in some places as Bonarda - Croatina, which has, I think, been covered in the aforementioned blog. The third grape in the blend for this particular wine is the more familiar Barbera.
Sangue di Giuda (literally blood of Judas) is a sweet mild semi-sparkling (frizzante) red. There is another wine (which I tried next) using much the same cepage but which is dry. (That's for another tidbit.) Ruby with a sweet berry nose, the wine continues with the sweet beery elements into the palate which was livened up by the prickle of bubbles. A sweet pruney acid backbone ensures it does not cloy.
