Emilio Bulfon is a unique winery located in the foothills of western Friuli, Italy, dedicated to rescuing ancient, native grape varieties from extinction. Founded in the 1970s, the estate has successfully revived centuries-old grapes like Sciaglìn, Ucelùt, Forgiarìn, and Piculit Neri that were nearly lost to history. These rare, indigenous varieties are cultivated on sun-drenched terraced vineyards that benefit from the region's distinct microclimate and mineral-rich soils. Today, the winery is celebrated globally by wine enthusiasts for producing highly distinct, expressive wines that honor Friuli's rich agricultural heritage.
