In the Vineyard and in the Cellar: Tour of PGI Wines

Antica Cantina Leonardi is a historic, family-run winery located in Montefiascone, overlooking the volcanic landscape of Lake Bolsena. Founded in 1910 and now managed by the fourth generation, the Leonardi family combines deep roots, a passion for the land, and a contemporary vision of winemaking. The ancient cellars carved into the volcanic tuff, cool and naturally humid, provide the perfect environment for aging wines that express the character of the Lazio region: mineral, vibrant, and authentic.
Each bottle is the result of a long-standing relationship between people, territory, and tradition. Riccardo and Emanuele - now the heart of the winery - welcome visitors into a world where craftsmanship, history, and hospitality merge.
At Antica Cantina Leonardi, each wine is shaped by the volcanic terroir of Montefiascone and over a century of family passion. Our vineyards grow on mineral-rich slopes overlooking Lake Bolsena, where native grape varieties such as Procanico, Roscetto, Malvasia del Lazio, and Trebbiano Giallo thrive alongside selected international varieties like Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.
Our most iconic expression is Est! Est!!! Est!!! di Montefiascone, a historic blend that captures the freshness, luminosity, and flavor of the volcanic soils of Lazio. But our range also includes elegant whites, expressive reds, and limited-production labels that highlight the character of each grape and the identity of the Tuscia region.
