Bright red, with aromas of red fruit, spice & Christmas cake. A medium bodied wine with an intense red color and typical aromas of ripe strawberries and plums. Well balanced with soft oak and vanilla. Will be a good match with lamb curry or any dish with some spice.

Alc: 14% 

Sangue di Giuda translates to Blood of Judah.  This wonderful sparkling red wine is sinfully sweet!

This naturally sparkling wine has an intense crimson-red color and produced from a combination of Croatina (60%), Barbera (20%), Ughetta (10%), Uva rara (10%) (autochthonous grape varieties). It contains a very fruity fragrance that includes crushed berries, dark plums and black cherries. The wine has good acidity, which balances its sweetness.  It has a delicate, fresh, and fruity taste that is best enjoyed while the wine is young. 

Exceptional with fruit tarts, almond desserts and fine pastries.
