The Territory
Radicanto wines are born in Salento, the southern area of Puglia characterized by sun-drenched plains, calcareous soils and sea breezes from the Adriatic and Ionian seas. The warm and breezy climate favors complete ripening and aromatic concentration of the grapes, giving the wines structure and depth.
In this historic agricultural landscape, the vine is an integral part of local culture. The vineyards trained in the traditional Puglian alberello system represent a time-honored practice perfectly adapted to the region’s climatic conditions.
Salento viticulture unites community, territory and agricultural memory, making wine a direct expression of the Mediterranean landscape.
The Radicanto Line
Radicanto is born from the meeting of roots and song: the roots evoke the deep connection with native grape varieties and the history of the Puglian territory, while the song represents the convivial and cultural dimension of local tradition.
The line interprets wine as an identity narrative: each bottle becomes a testament to the most authentic Puglia, where nature, people and traditions coexist in balance. The project combines tradition and innovation, enhancing historic varieties such as Negroamaro, Malvasia and Primitivo.
Radicanto thus expresses a sunny and generous land, transforming wine into a cultural as well as gastronomic experience.
