Over 100 Years Of History

the beginning

Antica Cantina Leonardi was founded in 1910 in Montefiascone, when Domenico Leonardi, upon returning from the Americas, established the winery by digging caves by hand and began selling local wines in small flasks.

Origin and evolution of a passion

In the 1950s, Domenico’s sons transformed the family business into a winery. In the 1960s, Carlo modernized Antica Cantina Leonardi, turning it into a nationally recognized winery with new vineyards and technologies.

Quality, territory and local products

In the 1980s, Ugo Leonardi focused on quality and promoting the local area. In the 1990s, new vineyards and the modernization of the winery cemented Antica Cantina Leonardi’s reputation as a leader in winemaking.
