Radikon Jakot 2020 (500ml)
Radikon stands alone: no one does it like this Friulian superstar. As Eric Asimov put it, these wines "astound for their purity, their distinctiveness and their almost radical evocation of a pre-modern age." Jakot is Friulano, the name spelled "Tokaj" backwards as a protest after the EU forced the variety's name change. The grapes come from vines originally planted by Stanko Radikon's grandfather on the clay, marl, and limestone slopes of Oslavia, hard against the Slovenian border, where no synthetics have been used since 1995 and yields hover at 2.25 tons per acre. After Stanko's death in 2016, his son Sasa, wife Suzana, and daughter Ivana have carried on, making the wine the way it has always been made: about three months of skin contact, then long aging in large Slavonian oak botti. This 500ml is Stanko's perfect format for solo drinking, his answer to a bottle that's too much for one and too little for two.
