4 biodynamic spots in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All dietary guides in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Gravner ★ 4.8
Oslavia · Localita Lenzuolo Bianco, 9, 34170 Oslavia, Gorizia, Italy
Josko Gravner farms 18 hectares biodynamically at Oslavia and ferments Ribolla, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pignolo in buried Georgian qvevri amphorae before long oak elevage.
Tip: Ask for an older-vintage Ribolla and Bianco Breg flight; Gravner releases the wines only when the cellar considers them ready, and library vintages show the slow-oak-and-qvevri evolution.
Radikon ★ 4.8
Oslavia · Località Tre Buchi, 4, 34170 Oslavia, Gorizia, Italy
Stanko Radikon (until 2016) and now sons Sasa and Ivan run the Oslavia cellar with extended-maceration Ribolla, Jakot (Friulano), Pinot Grigio and the Oslavje blend, all bottled at 500 ml to match a drinking session for a low-sulphite skin-contact wine. Organic and biodynamic-practising farming across the Oslavia ponca slopes.
Tip: Radikon's 500 ml format is the cellar's signature; ask for the Oslavje blend alongside the solo Ribolla to read the cellar template across two cuvees.
Damijan Podversic ★ 4.7
Oslavia · Via Brigata Pavia, 61, 34170 Gorizia, Italy
Damijan Podversic farms 12 hectares above Gorizia organically and biodynamic-practising, with extended-skin-contact Ribolla, Friulano, Chardonnay and Malvasia Istriana whites and a Merlot-Cabernet red.
Tip: Damijan's address sits above the city of Gorizia rather than at the Oslavia hamlet, so pair the visit with a Gorizia morning before driving up to Gravner or Radikon.
Vodopivec ★ 4.7
Sgonico · Localita Colludrozza, 4, 34010 Sgonico, Trieste, Italy
Paolo Vodopivec farms six monovarietal Vitovska hectares biodynamically at Sgonico on the Carso limestone karst and ferments in buried Georgian qvevri amphorae with no temperature control and indigenous yeasts.
Tip: Vodopivec's Vitovska is the Carso reference; the cellar bottles only the variety and the three expressions show different qvevri ageing windows.
