Product Overview

• Type: Sparkling wine (frizzante = lightly sparkling, less pressure than spumante).
• Brand/Producer: Likely produced by Cantina di Schio (a well-known Italian winery in Veneto, Italy), though the exact producer may vary by region or distributor. The name Sangue di Giuda ("Blood of Judas") is a reference to the biblical figure Judas Iscariot, often associated with betrayal. The wine is marketed as a humorous or ironic take on the name, not a literal or offensive product.
• Region: Typically from Veneto, Italy (similar to Prosecco regions), though the exact appellation (e.g., DOC, IGT) is not confirmed by this barcode alone.
• Style: Usually a dry or semi-dry white sparkling wine, often made from Glera (like Prosecco) or other local grapes (e.g., Trebbiano, Pinot Noir). The "frizzante" designation means it has a low carbonation level (similar to a lightly effervescent beer or beer-like wine).

Price Range (Historical/Estimated)

• Retail Price: Typically ranges between €8–€15 (depending on the retailer, region, and batch). In Italy, it may be sold for €10–€12 in supermarkets or wine shops. Outside Italy, prices could be higher due to import costs (e.g., $12–$20 USD in the U.S. or Europe).
• Bulk/Wholesale: If purchased in bulk (e.g., 6-packs or cases), prices may drop to €5–€8 per bottle.
• Online: Some sellers (e.g., Amazon, Italian wine retailers) list it for €9–€14, but prices fluctuate.
