    About Radikon:

    The wines produced by the late Stanislao (Stanko) Radikon and his son Sasa have inspired a devoted following of winemakers, critics and consumers from all parts of the globe. The father and son team seek to produce wine that is wholly natural, without compromise. During his 36 vintages of Radikon, Stanko has refused to commit himself to any singular winemaking style, but has instead adopted a winemaking methodology which echoes the Friulian wines made before the 1930s: extended maceration periods, the use of large oak barrels, and manual harvesting. The approach rejects the use of chemical pesticides, temperature-controlled fermentation and sulfur. As a result the wines of Radikon are seriously age worthy, the long maceration protecting the wine and allow it to age, creating wines, that are in Stanko’s words, ‘totally genuine.’ The Radikon vineyards are set on a hillside in Oslavia between the town of Gorizia and the Slovenian border, facing South and South-east, bordered by the Julian Alps to the north, and the Adriatic sea to the South.
