Cellar: Radikon

We are located on the height of Oslavia, a village of Gorizia, in the heart of Collio, the cellar Radikon is conducted since 1980 by Stanislaus, his wife Suzana and son Sasa winemaker. Are 12 hectares of vineyards located in the basement area, located on steep slopes, very tiring to work with, however, a perfect terrain for the cultivation of grapes, because it consists of very compact clay and sandstone and marl layers in these areas takes the name of Ponka. No chemicals in the vineyard, or sulfur dioxide in the wine cellar, where you switch to maceration in wooden vats. And 'so that Stanislaus Radikon changes course coming from that declaring the infernal circle of those who made a libertine use of chemicals in the country. Fed up with a wine that does not satisfy him anymore and that feels trivial and approved all the others, Stanislaus is the bearer of a production philosophy that supports the absolute need to cultivate the land using traditional methods, without polluting it with chemicals, thus obtaining healthy wines. And the wine obtained is rich in character and personality.
