The Penultimate Platter is well underway and the scrappy Giants are fiercely hanging on to their dreams. Sparing my dear readers from a horrible segue I will point out that we have another winery here making a great effort to preserve varietals that are falling under the steamroller that is the merlot/cabernet/shiraz. Emilio Bulfon is now carrying the mantle for these almost forgotten Friulian grapes.The first bottle contains Piculìt Neri. It is a dry red weighing in at only 12.5% a.b.v. Perhaps it has a little of that green flavor and despite its low alcohol it has a pleasing warming feeling. Quite a nice wine actually. For the encore we open a Forgiarìn. This one is a bit bigger than its predecessor with a compelling smoky overtone. Either one of these wines could be drunk alone or with simple meals and they will only set you back about $18 each!
