Radikon
Vino Rosso I.G.T. Rosso Venezia Giulia 2021 Rs21
Reds are a rare sight from trailblazer Radikon, and the full-bodied Rs21 shines brighter with its unique Merlot and Pignolo blend, fermented separately before combining. Robust notes of red fruits, balsamic, and cocoa leap out of the glass, but it’s a smooth criminal on the palate with soft velvety tannins, bright acidity, and a lengthy finish. Incredible with food.

Saša is uncompromising in his approach to winemaking. That means hand-harvesting from low-yield vines and no chemical additives whatsoever.

Behind the Bottle
Saša follows his father’s approach. The vineyard is situated in Oslavia, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. A part of Italy that is right on the Slovenian border. Members of the Radkon family have called this little piece of land on the sloping hillside of Oslavia home since 1861. The family worked the land as farmers, with food crops, livestock, and, of course, making wine, but not in any serious way for generations before Stanko Radikon bottled his first vintage in 1979.
