After 10 minutes or so, when the radicchio is softened slightly but still firmly holding its shape, stir the vinegar with cup water and pour into the pan. Raise the heat a bit and bring the liquid to the boil, turning the wedges and stirring. Cook for a couple more minutes, until the pan juices are reduced and syrupy and the wedges are lightly caramelized.
