Emilia-Romagna's wines might be considered northern Italy's most eccentric: different on the whole from their neighbors', often facile in style but always refreshingly individualistic. In Emilia the premier wine is Lambrusco, in frothy shades of purple to pink, made from grapes grown on high trellised vines, mainly in the flatlands south of the Po. Quality versions of this traditional wine are hard to find, but worth the search, as they are great representatives of the best this region has to offer.
