Emilia-Romagna
Located in the centre of the country, Emilia-Romagna could lay claim to the food capital of not only Italy but possibly the world. It is famous for its cheeses (Parmagiano Regianno and Grana Padano), cured meats (proscuito di Parma, mortadella, pancetta and cotechino) and balsamic vinegar. Not to mention its contribution to car racing (Ferrari, Lambourghini and Maserati).
Pasta is a favorite food in the region, and most areas consider tagliatelle their favorite shape. It is often served with a bolognese meat sauce. In Bologna they also serve lasagne verdi, a layered pasta dish made with spinach flavored pasta sheets, meat ragout and béchamel, while Parma is famous for serving
tagliatelle with a sauce made with browned chicken livers, beaten egg yolks and grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Villa di Corlo Corleto Lambrusco Grasp. di Cast. 2024
The Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro variety is considered by many to be the fullest bodied and finest Lambrusco. Grown on hillside vineyards near Castelvetro, south of Modena. A very deeply coloured frothy purple in the glass, the bouquet is intense and with aromas of ripe strawberries, luscious blueberries, black cherry and distinct floral notes of violets and iris. The wine shows great concentration on the palate with an explosion of dark fruit and structured tannins leading to a lively and lingering dry finish. This is a tremendous “food wine” and few pair better with traditional Italian fare. Typically served chilled, it makes a delightful summer beverage for dinners “al fresco”!
