San Leo

As the historic capital of the rugged Montefeltro region, San Leo's high-altitude terroir dictates its agricultural output. Within this single municipality, 16 protected denominations overlap, shaped by the borderland geography between Romagna and the Marche. Chief among these is the Rimini DOC, a wine designation shared across a tight zone of 26 municipalities, which thrives on the limestone-rich slopes. This unique microclimate also nurtures the pasturelands behind Casciotta d'Urbino DOP, a historical sheep-and-cow milk cheese prized since the Renaissance. Here, rocky cliffs and maritime breezes forge bold, distinct flavors.
