Vin Santo

Almond biscotti is a crisp, twice-baked Italian cookie with pronounced almond flavor and a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with dessert wines that offer complementary nutty, dried fruit notes. The crunchy texture also works wonderfully with malty beers that have caramel, nut, or coffee notes to echo the toasted almond qualities.

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.
