CURIOSITY: Legend has it that after Judas died, he repented for betraying Jesus. Upon being forgiven, he was resurrected in Broni, Oltrepò Pavese. Recognizing him, the locals wanted to kill him, but Judas healed the vines of disease. In gratitude, the locals named the wine after him, giving rise to the name "Sangue di Giuda" (Blood of Judas).
