WINE DESCRIPTION

Radikon Jakot is an iconic orange wine from Friuli, Italy, produced by the renowned pioneers of the orange wine movement. Crafted from 100% Friulano grapes, it spends 3-4 months fermenting on the skins, a technique that imparts its characteristic depth and complexity. The wine then matures for three years in large oak barrels, followed by an additional 1-2 years in bottle, allowing it to develop remarkable texture and nuance. Radikon's distinct, hands-off winemaking approach results in a wine of bold character, celebrated for its intensity and the way it embodies the innovation and tradition of Italian orange wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Radikon Jakot offers a complex bouquet of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, intertwined with floral notes of chamomile and orange blossom.There is also a subtle hint of honey and spice, adding depth and complexity to the aroma profile. The palate of Radikon Jakot is equally captivating. It displays a rich and textured mouthfeel, with flavors of dried apricot, quince, and a touch of tropical fruit. The wine's extended skin contact during fermentation gives it a distinct tannic structure, providing a pleasant grip on the palate. The acidity is well-balanced, adding freshness and vibrancy to the overall taste. Radikon Jakot is known for its oxidative style, which imparts a unique character to the wine. This oxidative aging process gives it a deep amber color and contributes to the development of nutty and oxidative notes.
