Jakot 100 cl Venezia Giulia White IGT 2020 Radikon
Jakot is "Tokaj" spelled backward — and the name is not a random game. When the European Union forbade Italy from using the name Tocai for its native Friulian grape variety, Stanko Radikon responded by reversing the word and keeping it on the label anyway. A gesture of identity rather than controversy. Friulano grows on the same hills of Oslavia where Ribolla grows, on the same Ponka: the stratified clay marl that becomes as hard as rock at depth and patiently releases minerals. But Friulano is a different grape: more pulpy, more material, with a denser structure and an olfactory depth that in Radikon's hands becomes something difficult to compare to any other Italian white. Maceration of 3-4 months in truncated conical oak vats, four manual punch-downs a day to keep the skins submerged, then over three years in large barrels, then 18 months in bottle. No filtration, no sulfites, no fining. The wine is released to the market six years after harvest. Today, the winery is run by Saša Radikon, who continues its philosophy without changing a thing.
The 1-liter format is a precise choice by Radikon, intended for a table wine in the most authentic sense of the term: to share, to uncork without ceremony, to finish together.

Vinificazione |
Destemming and crushing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and 3-4 months of skin maceration in open truncated oak vats, without temperature control, with 3-4 manual punch-downs per day. The vats are filled and sealed at the end of alcoholic fermentation, and the wine remains in contact with the skins for the entire duration of maceration. Racking and aging in 25-35 hl oak barrels for 40-42 months, with frequent rackings if necessary. 18 months in bottle before release. |
Profumo |
The nose is intense and complex: almond, dried fruit, candied apricot, honey, glazed notes, vanilla, spices. With time in the glass, herbaceous notes, mushroom, and undergrowth emerge. |
Gusto |
In the mouth it is ample, textural and deep: voluminous weave, fine but present tannins, acidity balanced by the structure, a finish of extraordinary persistence on notes of almond and stone. The most pulpy and "fleshy" of Radikon's white wines. |
Abbinamento |
Omelettes, stuffed pasta, mushroom and truffle dishes, structured white meats, fish soups, aged cheeses. Excellent on its own as a meditation wine. |
