Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna’s geography is defined by a sharp culinary split, transitioning from the intensive dairy plains of Emilia to the viticultural hills of Romagna. The region holds 78 protected denominations in total. No other Italian territory features such a hyper-localized concentration, where the single town of Savignano sul Panaro maps an overlap of 26 different denominations, while neighboring Imola hosts 25. This complex intersection of origins is anchored by Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, supported by 285 verified producers, and the Romagna Albana DOCG wine zone, which spans 22 municipalities.
