Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy

One of the most iconic wines of the natural wine movement. Radikon's Ribolla Gialla is a legendary expression of Friuli's native grape, created by the late Stanko Radikon and continued today by his son Saša. A wine that changed the perception of what white wine could be.

Made from 100% Ribolla Gialla grown on the steep hills of Oslavia near the Slovenian border, the grapes undergo extended skin contact, native fermentation and years of ageing in large oak vessels before release. The result is a deeply textured amber wine with the structure and complexity often associated with fine reds.

Layers of dried apricot, orange peel, chamomile, wild herbs, tea and spice unfold alongside a powerful mineral core, gentle tannins and remarkable length. This is not simply an orange wine, but a serious, age-worthy expression of place, grape and philosophy.

A benchmark bottle for lovers of minimal-intervention wines and one of the defining wines of the skin-contact movement.

Serve slightly chilled with aged cheeses, roasted vegetables, seafood, poultry or dishes with earthy flavours. Best enjoyed slowly and shared.
