ABOUT US
QUALITY & TRADITION
The ancient origins of our wines.
The history of the agricultural company is naturally linked to that of the Leopardi counts, a family with ancient origins. According to tradition, they arrived in Italy from Byzantium with the Teutonic knights in the mid-4th century AD, first settling in Sicily and then in Rome. One family member, Leopardo de’ Leopardi, was sent by Pope Innocent I and appointed the first bishop of Auximum, now Osimo, an ancient town of Picene origin where pagan rites were prevalent. The bishop succeeded in converting the population but paid for his success with martyrdom in 405 AD.
The Team
Highly specialized professionals dedicated to crafting wines of the highest quality.
Since 2024, Cantina Conte Leopardi has entered a new chapter, with management entrusted to the Biagioli family. Leading this new phase is Catherine, who brings over 15 years of experience in the wine industry and a deep knowledge of the territory. Alongside her, her son Andrea—young, determined, and forward-thinking—adds enthusiasm, vision, and a strong spirit of renewal.
Under their guidance, the winery has expanded its vineyards, adding new Verdicchio plantings in the Castelli di Jesi area, and has reinforced its commitment to organic farming as a core value. The Biagioli family believes in producing authentic, transparent wines that express the language of the land and the people who live it.
With solid roots and a forward-looking vision, the winery today embodies a new energy—one made of respect for tradition and a constant drive for evolution.
Production Area
The Territory
The estate is located in the Marche region, in the province of Ancona, nestled in one of the most captivating coastal hill areas overlooking the Adriatic Sea: the Riviera del Conero.
The soil is marl-rich, calcareous, and medium-textured. The unique orographic, geological, and pedoclimatic characteristics of this region have favored viticulture since ancient times, allowing for the production of exceptionally high-quality grapes.
The climate is typically Mediterranean, influenced by the sea and frequent breezes. The region experiences significant temperature variation between day and night, which further enhances grape quality.
