In Tuscany, cantucci di Prato—miniature, anise-flavored almond biscotti—are traditionally served at the end of a meal with a glass of Tuscan dessert wine, vin santo, for dipping. “But, being English, Trudie and Sting often eat them with tea,” Sponzo says. Il Palagio’s vin santo (which is Italian for “holy wine”) is made with Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes from the estate’s own organic vineyards, which are dried in rafters before their sweet juice is pressed and fermented.

Pairing Suggestion

The traditional accompaniment for these twice-baked Tuscan cookies is vin santo, a sweet Tuscan dessert wine. If you’re in Italy, seek out the bottlings of Budini Gattai (which aren’t exported to the United States); otherwise, try Badia a Coltibuono’s honeyed, almondy 1999.
