2022 Radikon 'Sivi'

'Sivi' is Radikon’s Pinot Grigio in its true grey-skinned form. The name means “grey” in Slovenian, referring to the natural colour of the grape’s skins, and the wine is vinified with maceration to reveal a copper-toned, structured, gastronomic side of Pinot Grigio that has almost nothing to do with neutral commercial examples of the variety. Spontaneous fermentation in oak vats, ageing in large botti, no filtration, and minimal sulphur. 

In the glass, it shows a copper-pink colour with amber reflections. The nose is layered and distinctive, with blood orange, red apple skin, wild strawberry, dried flowers, tea, herbs, and gentle spice. On the palate, it is dry, savoury, roundly textured with ripple of fine tannin, bright acidity, and a long Pinot like finish.

This is Pinot Grigio with seriousness and identity: tactile, saline, structured, and deeply gastronomic. It has the immediacy of the S range, but also the unmistakable density and confidence of Radikon.
