Panettone
Panettone, the traditional Italian holiday bread, features a sweet, yeasty profile with candied fruits and a light, airy texture that calls for complementary beverages. Sweet dessert wines enhance its fruity notes while contrasting its subtle dryness, while beers with fruity esters or creamy textures create harmony with the bread's richness and sweetness.
