Radikon is a cornerstone of the natural wine movement—the Friulian estate where Stanko Radikon pioneered extended-maceration winemaking that influenced producers worldwide. Since his passing in 2016, son Saša continues the legacy with the same uncompromising philosophy: organic farming, spontaneous fermentation, no sulfur additions, no fining or filtration. "RS" (Rosso Sasa) is Saša's personal creation—a blend of Merlot and indigenous Pignolo co-fermented in large oak vats with two weeks of maceration. The result is pure, alive, and unmistakably Radikon: wines of terroir transparency and natural vitality.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

75% Merlot/25% Pignolo. The vines are planted on ponca, a compressed, flaky clay of marl and sandstone that is typical in this part of Friuli. They grow on a south-facing slope right by the winery; average around 30 years old; yield about 45 hl/ha; and are farmed organically and harvested by hand like all Radikon vineyards. The grapes are destemmed and spontaneously co-fermented in 25-hectoliter oak vats without the addition of yeasts, sulfur or temperature control. Maceration is 8-14 days with daily punchdowns. The wine is aged in 25-35-hectoliter botti for a year and bottled without fining or filtering and with a tiny amount of sulfur. "RS" is short for "Rosso Sasa", named for its creator, Sasa Radikon.
