Sweet wine, in Oltrepo’ tradition, was a must till the end of 60s. Women getting around in the area was so happy to meet farmers offering to them a pleasant refreshing sweet drink may be paired with some cookies. Nowadays the tradition is still alive and, honestly, in the last times so trendy. Costiolo is the Vistarino Sangue di Giuda, very traditional but able to suit the needs of modern consumers. Not too much sweet but very delightful.
Colour: Deep ruby red colour.
Nose: unmistakable fruity, fresh and with typical fresh grapes aroma.
Tate: sweet, fresh, well balanced in sweetness and acidity, smooth with delightful long mineral finish. Thanks to the low alcohol content this wine is pleasantly easy to drink and enjoyable as summer refreshing beverage.

Conte Vistarino
Carlo Giorgi di Vistarino introduced the pinot nero grape to the Oltrepo Pavese between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, going on to win awards in both London and Paris for the sparkling wines thus produced. His work was taken further by Ottaviano and Carlo, and is today in the hands of Ottavia Giorgi di Vistarino.
