Jakot 2019 - Radikon

Jakot - Radikon

Jakot is an orange wine made from Friulano grapes. The grapes come from the area of ​​Oslavia, an area renowned for its orange wines just a few steps away from Gorizia. After the harvest the grapes are destemmed and placed in oak vats where spontaneous fermentation takes place with only indigenous yeasts in contact with the skins, during fermentation the temperature is not controlled. To keep the skins always immersed, during maceration 3-4 manual punching operations are performed per day. Once the alcoholic fermentation is over, the vats are filled and closed and the Jakot remains in contact with the skins for 3/4 months. The refinement takes place in 25/35 hl oak barrels for about 40 months and frequent racking takes place during this time. It does not undergo clarification or filtration before bottling. Jakot is a wine with an orange-yellow color. The nose is intense with aromas of almond, tropical fruit, followed by spicy notes. In the mouth it is ample, of extraordinary complexity, balanced and fresh.

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.
