Tasting Notes
Radikon's Ribolla Gialla is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the Radikon range. Heavily orange in colour and equally intense in flavour. It sits in the middle of the Jakot and Oslavje in weight, but is more powerfully structured in acid and tannin, which is reflective of the varietals classic characteristics. I recommend consuming this slowly with food at 12-16 degrees Celsius. - Chris L
Drunk after roughly 2 hours in a decanter. This has a classic Radikon nose with the hallmark VA and notes of wild strawberries, compost, mushroom, raspberry, white flowers, forest floor and a hint of white truffles. There are short, grippy tannins that add to the verve and texture of this wine. This still has a long life ahead. - Aaron C.
Radikon is a legendary family estate near Oslavia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, founded by Stanko Radikon in the late 1970s and now carried forward by his son Saša. The estate has played a pioneering role in the modern orange wine movement, reviving traditional methods of extended skin contact—sometimes lasting several months—to create powerful, textured whites and select reds that defy convention.
Farming is fully organic, yields are remarkably low, and vineyard parcels of Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Merlot and Pignolo are planted densely on steep, mineral-rich soils. In the cellar, grapes are destemmed and macerated in large oak vats, fermented naturally, and aged in old wood with minimal or no sulfur—favoring authenticity and clarity over polish.
Radikon’s wines are renowned for their intense amber color, layered aromatics, racy tannin structure, and extraordinary aging potential. Each bottle is an immersive expression of Friuli’s rugged terrain and Stanko’s radical vision, now evolving under Saša’s subtle refinements and continued commitment to terroir and innovation.
