One more reason to not drink Pinot Grigio. Some 30 years ago, winemaker Emilio Bulfon rediscovered and replanted several ancient native Friulian grape varieties in the hills of the province of Pordenone in western Friuli. Today, Bulfon produces wines exclusively from these ancient grapes. One of his whites is Cividin, a straw-yellow wine with a fragrant nose of apple and pear. This un-oaked wine has a nice acidity that is very food friendly. A great, unusual wine. As a side note, each of Bulfon's wines are adorned with a different color label designed by Bulfon that depict a detail of a medieval fresco of the last supper found on a wall of a local church.
