The Dark Chocolate biscuits and the ones with Hazelunts are made with the same ingredients of the Prato biscuits (flour, sugar, free-range eggs) but instead of almonds and pine nuts, fine dark chocolate (85 % cocoa), pistacchio and almonds are added.
Classic panettone, a great expression of the Italian cake-making tradition. The rediscovered magic of starter yeast, the best flours, butter, eggs and sugar, skilfully worked to create the rich risen dough. The choice of the best candied orange peels and the sweetest raisins completes the creation of this delicious panettone, with its soft and delicate texture.
We have chosen Filippi's excellent Panettone for you.
The Cuvée Royale is produced from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc grapes cultivated at the Montenisa estate.
Its stay on its fine lees brings out all of its intense aromas of white peaches, apples, and toast.
The color is straw yellow, the bubbling rich and creamy with delicate and persistent bubbles.
The palate shows the typical liveliness of a Brut along with notes of dried apricots, a lovely and unusual balance of great expressiveness and elegance.
