When speaking of Radikon, one refers to a winery dedicated to producing unique and authentic wines. The story of Radikon begins in Oslavia, a region where Italy and Slovenia meet. Here, on the hills with their characteristic "Ponca" soils, the Radikon family has been cultivating their vineyards for generations.
Radikon's vineyards thrive on mineral-rich soils, which impart remarkable depth and complexity to the wines. The vines are carefully tended, with grapes harvested by hand to ensure that only the best fruit is used for winemaking.
A hallmark of Radikon is the extended maceration of the grapes, during which the skins remain in contact with the must for an extended period. This process, which can last several months, allows for the full extraction of the grapes' aroma and structure, resulting in wines with a unique character.
After fermentation, the wines age for several years in large wooden barrels before being bottled without filtration. This minimalist approach reflects the commitment to creating wines that authentically represent the terroir and traditions of the region.
