Pignoli (500ml)・Radikon・2013

If you were to ask, "Which indigenous red grape of Friuli has the dignity to rival Nebbiolo and Sangiovese?", not only Radicon but many winemakers would answer Pignolo. Pignolo means "attention to detail" or "troublesome, troublesome," and as its name suggests, it is difficult to cultivate, extremely tannic, and requires an immense amount of time to achieve balance. Because it is an IGT, the grape variety cannot be listed on the label, so the name Pignoli, the plural of Pignolo, is used, perhaps implying that not only the grape but also the winemaker himself is troublesome.
