This elegant \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e skilfully combines Chardonnay and Friulano in a deep sensory profile. In the glass, it displays a vibrant deep gold hue, enriched with orange highlights, which heralds a bouquet rich in tropical yellow fruit, resin, and notes of candied fruit. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003efull and enveloping\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced by a pronounced freshness and enhanced by delicate saline and slightly tannic nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Oslavia, in the province of Gorizia, at the heart of Venezia Giulia. The vines grow on a unique soil matrix known as \u003cstrong\u003eponka\u003c\/strong\u003e, a particular clay marl that is rock-hard at depth, but crumbles when exposed to the elements. Cultivation using the \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot system\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with high planting density, naturally limits the agricultural yield. This meticulous \u003cstrong\u003econcentration of the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures fruit rich in extracts, capable of translating the identity of the land into a vibrant mineral perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with destemming and crushing, followed by \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e triggered exclusively by indigenous yeasts. The must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e for about three months in truncated conical oak vats, with regular manual punch-downs to extract colour and aromatic structure. Maturation continues for eighteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the wine to mature slowly and integrate its delicate tannic texture. The result is a sip of great personality, designed for a long and steady evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in Oslavia, in the heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Slatnik Bianco has confirmed Radikon's vocation for \u003cstrong\u003enatural wines\u003c\/strong\u003e with great character since 1980.
