An old saying goes, “If you want to know if you are in Emilia or Romagna just ask for a drink. If they offer you a glass of water, then you’re in Emilia, if they give you a glass of wine, you’re in Romagna.
Actually, the hospitality that you find in Emilia is very good; the wine tradition, though, distinguishes these two areas in the same region.
Wines are known for their ancient tradition in these areas, like the Sangiovese in Romagna and the Lambrusco in Emilia. The vineyards are mostly located in the plains, unfortunately, but produce a very abundant quantity of wine. In fact, even though it doesn’t improve the quality of the wine, the abundance makes it possible to serve wine at every table and every celebration in the region.Good wine, easy to drink.
