A rare privilege, as De Andrè sang

Oslavia, Italy

Unique, inimitable and uncompromising, this is the style of Radikon, undoubtedly one of the cult companies in the world of natural wine, a fantastic producer that needs no introduction.

Radikon is located in Oslavia in the Collio, a few steps from Slovenia and can count on 12 hectares mostly located on steeply sloping terrain dominated by Ponka, a marly stratification of Ecocene origin.

The great native Friulian vines such as Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Malvasia Istriana and Pinot Grigio are grown here. In this context there is also space for two international evergreens and practically adopted children of the territory such as Merlot and Chardonnay

The history of the winery dates back to the second half of the 1970s when Stanislao, aka Stanko, Radikon took over from his father in the management of the family vineyards. It’s strange, but at the beginning he produces in a conventional, industrial way but noticing that his wines are all the same, stereotyped and not even a vague idea of ​​what it will be, horrified, he decides to diametrically change his style.

No more chemicals in the vineyard or in the cellar, no more sulphur, even in small quantities, replaced by very long macerations on the skins in wooden containers.

The wines he obtains are dreamlike, unimaginable and unattainable, not only a pure and very high expression of the territory but also multifaceted, with personality and exciting. Never banal nor the same, year after year.

Today the winery is in the hands of Sasa, Stanko’s son, another champion who carries on the company philosophy with pride and foresight.
