More information on Emilia-Romagna
Emilia Romagna is the perfect destination if you want to enjoy memorable wine tastings and winery visits while discovering some of Italy's most iconic food products. This region was born by the union of two different territories, Emilia and Romagna. Emilia, located in the hinterland, is the land of many PDO and PGI products that represent Italy's food excellence, such as Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar and Prosciutto di Parma. Romagna instead borders the Adriatic Sea and is known for its beaches, filled with nightlife during summer, and suggestive hill villages.
Emilia Romagna represents one of the largest wine-growing areas in Italy with over 60.000 hectares and, while here, you will have the chance to experience the variety of wines produced in this area during your wine tastings. The difference between Emilia and Romagna in fact is clear also when looking at the types of wines produced and cultivated grapes. Emilia, the western part, is the land of Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine. In Romagna instead, located on the eastern side, wines are mostly still and produced with Sangiovese, Albana and Pignoletto grapes. Together, the two areas of Emilia Romagna boast 18 DOC, two DOCG and nine IGT appellations.

The distinction between Emilia and Romagna becomes even clearer when looking at the traditional dishes eaten within the region. Nevertheless, throughout the region's territory, you will be able to savor many of Italy's excellencies between a wine tasting and a winery tour. Not by chance, this area is known as Italy's Food Valley. Emilia is the land of fresh egg pasta like tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù, tortellini and tortelloni, cold cuts like Prosciutto di Parma and Culatello di Zibello, Parmiggiano Reggiano and other specialties like Erbazzone. Romagna's cuisine instead includes more fish-based dishes with products like clams and sardines. Fresh pasta plays a big role also in Romagna's cuisine, with shapes like tagliatelle and ravioli. Finally, Romagna's most iconic dish is perhaps Piadina, a sort of flatbread.

Some international grape varieties can also be found, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Riesling and Müller-Thurgau.
