Pianura Padana attracts food and wine lovers: starting with Vercelli, home of rice and its varieties such as carnaroli, arborio, roma, balilla, which you can taste in the typical panissa or in rice biscuits. These dishes come with wines from Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria, or from Oltrepò Pavese.

Don't miss Franciacorta, the most famous sparkling wine of Pianura Padana.
