Description

Stanko Radikon was one of the Pioneers of Orange wine in Friuli. Alongside other notables such as Josko Gravner, he started experimenting with skin contact for white grapes in 1995, a technique which was employed by his own Grandfather. This outstanding example of Ribolla from Radikon is hazy orange with explosive aromatics of quince, fresh orange zest, and apricot. Its complex texture, fine tannins and high acidity makes it an amazing combination of density and freshnes. The maceration of the skin with the juice lasts for 2/4 months in oak vats. The wine is then matured for 4 years in 25/35hl casks. Bottles are then aged for 2 years before being released. No added sulphur.
