100% Pinot Grigio. Similar to the Slatnik, maceration of the juice on the skins lasts for 10-14 days, resulting in a lighter bodied and fruitier wine, with notes of candied fruit, tangerine and spice. If you’ve always thought Pinot Grigio is not the grape for you, we are confident this wine will change your mind. It’s the ultimate proof that the variety is capable of greatness in the hands of an amazing winemaker.
"The 2022 Bianco Sivi, Radikon’s 100% Pinot Grigio that spends eight to ten days macerating on the skins, is a vivid, dark, pink color with violet hues. This is wonderfully fresh and floral with a spicy bouquet that blends rose petals with ginger and incense. It’s potent and savory in style, with juicy acidity to balance the depths of tart citrus and wild berry fruits that cascade throughout. The 2022 tapers o! with a balance of sweet spice and cheek-puckering citrus, adding remarkable contrasts through the long and perfumed finale. Drinking window: 2024 - 2029."
