Emilia-Romagna is sometimes called 'the belly of Italy'. The cities of Parma, Modena and Bologna are known for their culinary specialties, such as Parma ham, Parmesan cheese, Mortadella di Bologna and Zampone di Modena. A lot of pasta and salami comes from this region. Modena is the center of Aceto Balsamico (Balsamic Vinegar). Bologna's heavy country cuisine is famous for its dishes, including pasta Bolognese.

History Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna is a merge of two historical regions. Emilia, located in the west, takes its name from the most important road in this area: the Via Emilia, named after the Roman consul Marcus Emilius, who built this road as a link between Rome and northern Italy. On the east side, Romagna refers to the Eastern Roman Empire, with Ravenna marking the northern border of that empire.

Wines of Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna is an important wine province and is even a separate wine zone. The wines of Emilia-Romagna, located in northern Italy, are varied and known for their excellent quality. The region is famous for its Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine, and Sangiovese, a grape variety used for both red and white wines. In addition, Emilia-Romagna produces delicious white wines, including Albana and Pignoletto, as well as various dessert wines such as Albana Passito and Romagna Albana Vin Santo. The wines of Emilia-Romagna reflect the rich culinary traditions of the region and perfectly complement the local cuisine.

Emilia-Romagna area

Emilia-Romagna is a very fertile plain that lies like a triangle between the Po, the Adriatic Sea and the Apennines. The region has its own microclimate: the vineyards on the hills face northeast, so they have no climate influence from the south. However, there is a strong influence of the northern winds that come over the flat land. It is often cold and foggy, especially in spring and winter. These weather influences never produce heavy alcohol-rich wines, but fresh, light wines can. Very different from Piedmont, where strong wines are made.
