Radikon RS Red 2021 1.5l

Radikon RS Rosso 2021 1.5l is designed for those who want to experience dining as a journey through Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the ingredients are the protagonist and time works to serve the wine, offering a tannic texture and minerality that lingers even after hours of sitting empty. Its 1.5-liter size invites prolonged conviviality, domestic ceremonies, and moments of contemplation that require a wine capable of developing, embraced by the air and light of the cellar. Radikon, an independent company rooted in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, has built an identity over the years based on respect for the territory and the use of low-intervention viticulture and winemaking practices, favoring spontaneous fermentations and prolonged contact of the grapes with the skins. The winery, located in the heart of a region known for its complex soil and climate and the richness of its native varietals, has developed a philosophy that emphasizes slowness, a richness of aromas, and a visceral connection with the winemaker and the table. RS Rosso embodies this vocation: a range of red wines where maceration is an integral part of the character, a practice that imparts extraction, structure, and a subtle yet profoundly nuanced aromatic profile, capable of evolving with the addition of oxygen in the bottle. Compared to other similar producers, RS Rosso stands out for its ability to intertwine territorial roots and unexpected sensory interpretations: the grapes that compose this cuvée come from carefully selected and cultivated vineyards, without artifice, and the wine displays a complexity that does not sacrifice elegance, with a smooth tannic texture, a savory punch that recalls the terroir of origin, and a persistence that touches on mineral notes, flint, and a hint of balsamic. In tasting, the wine is described as imbued with a color reminiscent of amber stolen from the light, with aromas ranging from ripe red fruit to ferrous nuances, woody spices, and a hint of wild mushrooms; On the palate, it reveals a consistent body, controlled tension from early harvests, and a sweetness on the palate that does not betray the wine's discipline, offering a balance between acidity and tannic richness suitable for long aging. RS Rosso occupies a key place in the Radikon range, marking its propensity for experimentation and interpretation of terroir and varietals with a coherence that reminds us how patience can transform a bottle into a long story: this is an authentic wine, designed for those who want to dialogue with the past to understand the present, and for those seeking a benchmark in the panorama of natural wines from Friuli Venezia Giulia. RS Rosso is also a symbol of how a winery can offer a complete and lasting sensory experience, capable of transforming into a meditation or a companion to dishes that highlight the rusticity and refinement of local cuisine, in line with the STELT positioning: essential, profound, understated, sustainable.
