The soil here is called 'ponca' (or flysch) in dialect — layered clay and sandstone laid down on a prehistoric seabed, and the source of the wine's persistent mineral streak. Ribolla Gialla has been planted on this exact ground since the family's grandfather's generation in the early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hazy orange in colour, with explosive aromas of quince, dried apricot, fresh orange zest and pressed wildflowers. The palate is rich, full-bodied and finely tannic, with bracing acidity that keeps all that density surprisingly fresh. Big flavours of mature apricot, candied tangerine zest and ginger carry through a long, mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grapes are handpicked at optimum ripeness, then macerated on the skins for 4 months — a red-winemaking technique applied to a white grape. The wine ages 2 years in barrel and a further 3 years in bottle before release, with no added sulphur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stanko Radikon took over the family estate as a teenager and began estate-bottling with the 1979 vintage. In 1995, unsatisfied with the direction of modern white winemaking, he returned to the method his grandfather once used — weeks or months of skin contact for white grapes, just like a red. He made 36 vintages before he passed away in 2016; his son Saša, who grew up in the vineyards and learned more in the cellar than in his oenology studies, now carries the estate forward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50746020266082,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/products\/RadikonRibollaGialla.png?v=1740119377","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/radikon-ribolla-gialla-2020-1000ml-litre","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
