The Ribolla, or Ribolla Gialla, is an original grape of our homeland: because of its features, it is the most indicated for maceration on the grape skins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage 2020:\u003c\/strong\u003e Everyone has their own memories for this particular year; here it is remembered as one of our best vintages. From Spring on, the vintage was always balanced: good distribution of rain and sun, temperatures always in the average, a mild summer. Harvest started in the second decade of September, with warm and sunny days and perfect cool nights, with excellent ventilation. We couldn’t ask for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine-making:\u003c\/strong\u003e After taking off the grape stalks, the grape is put in oak vats, where maceration is held without any temperature control or chemical yeasts adding. Grape skins must be always covered with wine: that’s why during all the fermentation the cap is punched down manually two times per day. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation vats are filled and the wine stays in contact with the skins for about three months, and here takes place also the malolactic fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e After the racking, the wine rests in rover casks (25 to 35 hl capacity) for about 3 years: in the meantime, more than one racking could be necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRacking in bottles:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wine is bottled with a little addition of sulfites (total sulphur dioxide 8 mg\/L), in August 2023, in bottles of 1 liter and 0,50 liters.

The father and son team seek to produce wine that is wholly natural, without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.’ \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnapshot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: Oslavia, Friuli\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCountry: Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWinemaker: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSaša Radikon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage: 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 500ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABV: 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVarietal: Ribolla Gialla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/natural-wine\" title=\"Shop Natural Wine\"\u003eNatural Wine collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Radikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48492405358841,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/Bottle_Image_bc264c93-391e-4602-9f79-b8ec8aefdf73.jpg?v=1780813434","url":"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/products\/2020-radikon-ribolla-500ml","provider":"Act of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
