WINE DESCRIPTION
Radikon, a name synonymous with Friulean and Slovenian wine culture, was so renowned that he removed his winery sign to manage the influx of tourists. His legacy lives on, marked by his revolutionary approach to orange wine, also known as skin contact or amber wines. Radikon's production method is slow, natural, and hands-off. Notably, he introduced his unique bottle sizes, 500ml and 1 liter. While he passed away in 2016, his family continues to pursue his dreams of producing classic regional wines like Pinot Grigio, Ribolla Gialla, and Tocai Friulano. "Sivi" Pinot Grigio, produced in the ramato method, originates from the Italian-Slovenian border, showcasing red-hued juice due to skin contact.
