The Territory
In Salento, viticulture has been part of local community life for centuries. The warm Mediterranean climate, tempered by sea breezes from the Adriatic and Ionian seas, and the limestone-clay soils promote full ripening and aromatic concentration in the grapes.
This is where Cantine Due Palme operates, a cooperative founded in 1989 in Cellino San Marco, which brings together over a thousand winegrowers and cultivates thousands of hectares in the provinces of Brindisi, Lecce, and Taranto. The promotion of native grape varieties, particularly Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera, is one of the pillars of the region’s oenological identity.
In this landscape of olive trees, dry-stone walls, and head-trained vines, wine becomes an integral part of local culture and Mediterranean conviviality.
The Radicanto Line
Radicanto is born from the symbolic union of roots and song. The roots recall Puglia’s deep bond with its native grape varieties and its agricultural history; the song represents the cultural and community expression of this land, made of shared traditions and conviviality.
The line interprets wine as a narrative of the territory: each bottle combines identity, memory, and modernity, transforming Puglia’s viticultural heritage into an accessible and recognizable experience.
Radicanto is therefore a tribute to authentic Puglia, where nature and human labor exist in balanced dialogue.
