If you ever have a chance, travel the Via Emilia through the heart of the Po Valley. You will be crossing Italy’s agricultural heartland and visiting one of the world’s great centres of gastronomy, home to balsamic vinegar, parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto di Parma, mortadella, lasagne, tortellini and many other specialties – so important to Italy’s culinary heritage that the region is known as lo stomaco d’Italia – the stomach of Italy). The first page of any good wine list in this region will almost always feature Lambrusco because it goes so well with the local foods. Fabio Lini and his daughter, Alicia, proudly produce the best line of Lambruschi we’ve ever tasted, confirmed by Daniele Cernilli (editor of Gambero Rosso), who pronounced Lini the “best Lambrusco in the world”.
