Count Leopardi's family can trace their winemaking heritage to Le Marche as far back as 409 A.D., so it's no surprise to find that even the estate's simple Rosso Conero stands head-and-shoulders above other Montepulciano-based wine from the area. Perfect for rustic, meaty braises and hearty pastas, Riccardo Cotarella, one of Italy's top winemakers, lends his professional touch to this gutsy red.
