Q

Emilia-Romagna General Info

A

While the gastronomic creations of the Emilia-Romagna region are world-renowned—this is the home of Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and Modena’s Balsamic vinegar—the wines are less remarkable.

Emilia-Romagna currently has two DOCG appellations, but neither is considered a wine of tremendously high repute.

Emilia-Romagna’s indifferent standard of quality (barely 15% of the region’s output is DOC level) is underpinned by the region’s huge quantities of production. In the central provinces of Modena and Reggio, this production is nearly monopolized by Lambrusco.

Several DOCs, including:
* Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro
* Lambrusco di Sorbara
* Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce

produce frizzante red wines from over sixty subvarieties of the Lambrusco variety. Sparkling Lambrusco wines, made in a range from dry to dolce, are prevalent in Emilia-Romagna but not exclusive to the region: the Lambrusco Montovano DOC lies just over the regional border in Lombardy.

In the 1970s, Banfi’s “Riunite” brand catapulted Lambrusco into the international spotlight and became one of Italy’s biggest export success stories, but the image of the wine today suffers from low expectations. Regardless, quality Lambrusco exists and good bottles provide a refreshing partner for the cured meats of the region.
