Emilio Bulfon
Venezia Giulia IGT Sciaglìn
This wine is amazing. Bulfon only works with rare indigenous varieties from Friuli. Profile similar to a Campanian white but leaner. Stunning

Aug 27th, 2019The producer is an octogenarian who works in Friuli and has dedicated his life to the discovery, preservation and promotion of near extinct grape varietals. This white has brightness with saline qualities and honey notes. Fresh and floral, it is a lovely wine for the summer.
One other thing: the cork is a composite of two different cork types, the traditional cork sadwiched between the reconstituted type. I don't think I've seen that before.

Savory, mineral, a little toasted coconut and marzipan. Phenolic. Flavors are subdued but pleasant.

It reminds me of viognier in many ways. Tons of Banana candied falvors coming in on a medium body.

Dec 5th, 2020Solid white wine from Venezia but for me lacking acid, minerality, and intensity. Decent pairing with early courses.
