Radacini's personal and unique style
The Radacini winery is located in the perhaps still relatively unknown wine country of Moldova. They have 1,000 hectares of vineyards spread across three estates. The winery benefits from its long winemaking history, which began in Roman times. During this time, many new grape varieties were introduced. At this winery, attention to detail is paramount; nothing is left to chance. They utilize the latest technologies, resulting in a unique style. Thanks to their distinctive style and the dedication they demonstrate day in and day out, their wines have received dozens of awards. This reflects their quality and dedication.
The Merlot grapes are carefully and entirely harvested by hand. They are then cool-fermented, gradually developing their aromas and complexity. Finally, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for approximately 12 months to create a rich and complex wine.
