100% Tocai Friulano. “Jakot” is a backwards play on Tokaj, which is no longer allowed to be used on the labels in Italy. Very fresh and well balanced with notes of stone fruit and almonds. Jakot is one of Radikon's long macerated whites spending over three months on the skins.

"Decidedly spicey, the 2019 Bianco Jakot reminds me of my childhood days drinking lemon-tinged sun tea, along with a twist of ginger and wild herbs. This is soft textured and round with a purity seldom seen. Brisk acidity excites green apple and young pear notes. A hint of lime adds a pleasant tart tension toward the close. A saturation of savory spice remains while finishing lightly tannic and tremendously long. The Jakot is a varietal Tocai Friulano. Drinking window: 2025 - 2031."
