Radikon Slatnik 2021 0.75l

Radikon Slatnik 2021 0.75l is a wine born from the encounter between terroir, craftsmanship, and an approach that emphasizes the grape's essence without disguise. Produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region where light and stone tell a thousand-year history, Slatnik stands out for its use of select grapes and minimal intervention in the cellar: spontaneous fermentations, prolonged contact with the skins, no heavy fining, reduced dosages, and a marked attention to vine health. Radikon is a winery that has built a recognizable signature over time: a coherence between method and terroir, a choice to work with traditional tools and slow times, a commitment to enhancing the uniqueness of each vintage and to recounting its variations without giving in to gregarious commercialism. The production philosophy is founded on the balance between raw materials and the spirit of the place, on the idea that wine is a living memory of the agricultural year, capable of evolving between large barrels and tanks where oxygen shapes complex nuances. Slatnik's distinctive features include its depth of color, a subtle tannic texture, and an acidic structure that supports the aromatic profile without weighing it down, along with mineral notes, ripe citrus, medicinal herbs, and hints of wet stone that speak to the Friulian geography. Integrity and complexity coexist here with a fluidity that makes it a wine to be listened to: it's not a competitor for immediate gratification, but a table companion capable of pairing with flavorful fish dishes, shellfish, legume soups, and aged cheeses, offering a savory and defined finish on the palate. Within the Radikon range, Slatnik occupies a privileged position among the white wines with character, a testament to a philosophy that prioritizes time, territory, and authenticity. In conclusion, Slatnik 2021 presents itself as a conscious choice for those seeking an authentic interpretation of Friuli, faithful to the hands that created it, in line with the STELT positioning, which emphasizes precision, restraint, and elegance supported by terroir.
