Radikon’s Merlot is an extraordinary story about Collio, an extreme and exciting red wine that has been aged for 5 years in used barrels and bottles. Stunning on the nose with hints of small dehydrated red fruits, touches of medicinal herbs, ethereal references and memories of coffee and licorice. On the palate it is very balanced between tannin, freshness and texture.
Wine-making: After taking off the grape stalks, the grape is put in oak vats, where the maceration happens without temperature control and without the addition of any yeasts or other. Grape skins must be always covered with wine: that’s why during all the fermentation the cap is punched down manually 2 – 3 times per day. Maceration still goes on for about one month and a half.
Cask aging: After racking the wine lies in old barriques for about 6 years: in the meantime, more than one racking could be necessary. During this process no type of chemical preservative is added to the wine.
Racking in bottles: Racking is made without any filtration or clarification, in August 2011, in bottles of 1 liter and 0,50 liters, with no preservatives adding. The wine is aged in bottle before selling for almost two years.
Pairing with food: Main dishes featuring red meat.

This now famous company is located in the heart of the Collio. Oslavia ridge that from the bridge of the Isonzo ascends towards San Floriano. It is about hectares of vineyards near the company headquarters and set on steep slopes. The treatment is reduced to the minimum necessary of natural products and therefore is not synthetic product, such as herbicides, systemic phytosanitary products, insecticides, synthetic fertilizers. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, stored in boxes and brought to the cellar. Fermentation occurs spontaneously only with the yeasts already present on the grapes. When the alcoholic fermentation ends, the peoples are more pushed up by the carbon dioxide that the fermentation produces and settles gradually on the bottom. The long macerations involve a greater extraction as well as the alcohol and for this reason.Golden yellow color with auburn highlights, the nose offers hints of fresh fruit but also dried fruit. The palate is broad, persistent and salty, slightly tannic, elegant and mineral, with hints of peach and apricot.

Tribidrag is a variety that produces medium to large clusters with dark red, almost black berries. The vine is very adaptable and can thrive in various climatic conditions, although it achieves the best results in warm, sunny locations.Wines made from Tribidrag are typically full-bodied, with higher alcohol content and intense aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries and cherries, along with spicy notes including pepper and cinnamon. They often exhibit rich tones of chocolate, tobacco, and vanilla, especially after aging in oak barrels. Tribidrag wines have good aging potential, during which they develop additional complexity.

Intense ruby with sof brick-red glints. Complex notes of blackcurrant, kirsch-soaked cherries, leather, dried plums, black truffles, dark chocolate and herbs. The impression on the palate is of ripe red fruit, leather, dark chocolate, tobacco and undergrowth. A sophisticated hint of wood and perfectly ripe tannins harbour a great potential for long-term aging.
