| Grammatical label | Noun, sing. |
| Definition | They are fresh fruits produced by the peach tree, with different varieties (yellow and white pulp), and obtained with traditional and eco-friendly techniques, by using policy documents for integrated production. |
| Note | Romagna PGI peach and nectarine are two traditional fruits of Emilia-Romagna that can be both with yellow pulp and white pulp. These fruits are cultivated in the zones of Bologna, Forlì-Cesena, Ferrara and Ravenna. This zone is characterised by a climate typical of the Padana Plain but also influenced by the proximity to the Adriatic sea, without frosts, that make its culture perfect. (2) The nectarine is different from the peach because of its completely hairless peel and its bright and luminous surface. The peach in general presents a more curved form and red-coloured with orange and yellow shades skin. The pulp is savoury and sweet, the parfum is intense and particular. (3) |
| Context | The Romagna peach and nectarine are among the first peach varieties to have been given a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in Europe. They are hybrids between different varieties with white and yellow flesh. (4) |
