Hi Paul. Yes, we also drank a couple of very good Sangioveses. Thanks for the Pignoletto recommendation. I'll try a bottle next time I'm over there - I'm sure there will be a next time :)
Bologna is great and is a fantastic base for exploring Emilia Romagna. As a student city it is full of life and activity.I think Rick Stein did a weekend away TV programme which was basically food and wine.
In the heat of the day,Lambrusco was a great choice for lunch- not too boozy,then later at night when the heat of the day subsidised a good Sangiovese.
Worth mentioning Pignoletto a great alternative to Prosecco which is made the same way but with a different grape and INMHO a bit more interesting.
We alternated between Lambrusco and Pignoletto.Very pleasant.
