WTN: E. Bulfon Cividin Friuli Italy 2002

[Carema]

From the historically tumoultuous Friuli where jota (thick soup of smoked pig and cabbage) and brovade (grape skins and turnips, fermenting together in covered bliss) this-

Cividin.

An ancient white varietal coaxed back from near extinction by Emilio Bulfon. Delicate floral aromas like night blooming jasmine carried on a soft September wind accompanied a complex and delightful spiced pear/honeyed peach flavor. Acidity was a solid medium. Tasted much better almost warm than cold. Even warmer than chardonnay is where it showed best.Read more about this crazy man and his mission to revive grapes of old here. We sold out of the Cividin in a hurry.
