Inkanto 2022 Radovic 75 cl

Description

History

Radovic is a family business in the Karst that has always decided to work the land with its hands, learning to take care of it, respect it and reap its fruits. Since the beginning of the 1900s, great-grandfather Ivan produced wine for himself and sold the rest in the tavern. Grandparents Dušan and Milena, on the other hand, took care of dairy cows, selling the product on foot in the Karst plateau. Nevo and Flavia have continued this tradition by producing extra virgin olive oil with their own oil mill, since we know that to obtain quality products it is necessary to control every stage of production. Finally, the new generation has arrived: Devan, Peter and Boris, each looking for their own path, who are the true experimenters and the beating heart of the company today.

Grapes used

Vitovska, Malvasia and other unclassified native vines

Production method

Produced from vines over 15 years old on rocky-limestone soils and karst red soil. The grapes undergo 3 days of maceration on the skins in karst stone vats. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts. The refinement takes place in oak barrels for 12 hours with a 2-month rest in stainless steel for natural decantation. Refinement then follows for a few months in the bottle before actually being released onto the market.

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

The wine has a bright amber yellow color. On the nose, there are intense notes of ripe fruit, such as succulent apricot, spices such as rosemary and white pepper and a note of marked minerality. On the palate, a complex and enveloping structure is perceived, with subtle but pleasant tannins, perfectly integrated. The fruity flavors intensify, accompanied by a pleasant freshness and a remarkable persistence that leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

Possible combinations

A very versatile wine, it is good as a classy aperitif, or ideal to be enjoyed with hard and mature cheeses, such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. It also goes well with fish-based dishes, such as grilled prawns or fish soup. For lovers of oriental cuisine, we recommend trying the pairing with sushi and sashimi. It is also excellent with white meat dishes, such as chicken curry or grilled turkey.
