RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Historic documents mention its cultivation on the Spilimbergo hills in the 15th century. Cultivated extensively in its traditional area until about 50 years ago, the production diminished gradually because of its late ripening and the expansion of the surrounding woods. The preservation of this variety is due almost exclusively to the work of Emilio Bulfon who reintroduced it in the early 1970’s when he came across abandoned grapes left by old farmers in the town of Pinzano al Tagliamento. The first bottling/vintage was in 1989/90. The name derives from "schiavolino" which means coming from Slavia , the area on edge of the Julian Alps. Today, Sciaglin is grown only in Pinzano al Tagliamento and Castelnovo del Friuli on bench lands.
