Have you heard of Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, balsamic vinegar or Lasagne all Bolognese? They all come from this region! Emilia is mostly flat, dominated by Italy's longest river - Fiume Po - and by Italy's largest flatland, called Pianura Padana, the most fertile agricultural region of the peninsula. With its fertile plains and favorable climate, Emilia-Romagna continues to be a significant contributor to Italy's wine culture and gastronomic reputation. In terms of wine production, it is best known for its sparkling Lambrusco.
