I vini di Emilio Bulfon

The Bulfon winemaking farm is well known in Friuli Venezia Giulia because it has been rediscovering, reviving and adding value to several native Friulian grape varieties that have been cultivated in the hills surrounding Pordenone for half a century. Emilio’s great passion, with the help of his wife Noemi and their children Lorenzo and Alberta, has revived these vines that had all but disappeared, thanks to the technical support of the Region (ERSA), the Province of Pordenone and expert ampelographers who have helped research, select and replant these ancient vine cultivars. For this work, Emilio Bulfon was awarded the Cangrande Prize at Vinitaly in Verona in 2010 by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry as “A distinguished Italian wine-grower recognised for his significant contribution to the development of viticulture and the enhancement of Italian oenology”. The estate vineyards extend over the hills of Pinzano - by the river Tagliamento – and Castelnovo del Friuli and produces rare wines that are also highly appreciated abroad. The Bulfon family has always welcomed wine tourists for guided tours and tastings and, as an accredited educational farm, also guides them through the vineyards and the picturesque, green surroundings to share its rich landscape, as well as its historical and artistic heritage. The option of lodging in the property’s own guest rooms completes the winery’s range of services to perfection.
