Family-owned winery from the Marche (based in Mondavio and Corinaldo), known for Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and for local red wines such as Rosso Piceno and Rosso Conero.
The estate was established by Aristide and Renata Libenzi, with initial vineyard development beginning in the 1950s in Corinaldo. Their daughter Laila later led a process of renewal. Since 2013, management has passed to their children Andrea and Chiara Refe, who continue to enhance the family's vineyards and wines.
