2022 Radikon Sivi Pinot Grigio

Radikon’s ‘Sivi’ is a far cry from your average Pinot Grigio. Made by Saša Radikon in the Friulian hills of Oslavia, this is skin-contact white at its most compelling - wild, honest, and quietly radical. The fruit spends around 10 days on skins, a shorter maceration by Radikon standards, which makes this one of the more approachable entries into the range. It’s aged in large Slavonian oak, bottled unfiltered, and released without any additions. What you get is a wine that sits somewhere between pink, copper, and amber in the glass, offering subtle grip, bright acid, and plenty of texture.

This is part of the more accessible 750ml line - a gentler take compared to the longer-aged, 500ml “blue label” wines - yet it still delivers that unmistakable Radikon signature: purity, energy, and structure. It’s a great first step into the world of orange wine, especially if you’re curious but not ready to dive in head-first.

"Radikon’s wines, together with neighbour and erstwhile colleague Joško Gravner, achieved a remarkable consistency and character with their slightly wild, deep, autumnal flavours and beguiling complexity."
- Simon Woolf (Decanter)

"It’s a remarkable site, fit snug into the typical rolling hills and dales of the region, tended daily by hand to ensure greatest health of fruit and optimum (low) yield. A family affair where son Sasa and father Stanko ebb and flow from winery to vineyard and back again."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
