Emilia Romagna
The territory of Emilia Romagna is divided in two by the Via Emilia, which crosses it in all its length: on one side the Apennines, with its soft hills particularly suited to viticulture, on the other the plain, which descends towards the Po to the Adriatic coast.
Along the Via Emilia there are four production areas: the Piacenza and Parma hills, where Bonarda and Barbera prevail; the lands of Lambrusco, extending from the hills to the banks of the Po between Reggio Emilia and Modena; the Colli Bolognesi and the lower Reno valley, where traditional white wines are produced; finally Romagna, with Sangiovese, Albana and Trebbiano dominating the scene.
