CAMERANO (part IX): Whoa. That is some pink pasta.

IL CORBEZZOLO SMELLS like Le Marche.

The agriturismo - a bed and breakfast type establishment with a restaurant featuring traditional, regional dishes - has a horse farm and is surrounded by vineyards and farm land.

The scent of hay and horses wafts through the air. If you study the local wine - the Rosso Conero - you can almost distinguish the same smell in your glass as you can at the agriturismo.

That is not a bad thing.

But the little establishment takes the specialty wine one step further. They have used that Rosso Conero to add color, literally, to their pasta dishes.

It can be a little shocking.

Photography instructor David Maialetti received his plate of pink raviolis with a look of awe.

But he ate them. And they were good. And filling.
