Stanko Radikon was one of the natural wine world's true icons and his legendary work in the Oslavia region of Friuli, right by the border with Slovenia in Italy's northeast is now being carried on by his son Sasa. The wines benefit from what a soil type the Slovenian's call 'Ponca', a complex mix of sandstone, clay and marine deposits that produces powerful, mineral rich wines. Unlike their classic line of wines, this blend of Chardonnay and Tocai spent just a couple of weeks on skins and eighteen months in old casks and also sees a small sulphur addition at bottling. The result is a fresher, fruitier style of wine that is more approachable and easygoing, especially in its youth.
