This typical Tuscan biscuit was born in the latter part of the Middle Ages and its word seems to derive from 'Cantellus' which means 'Part': in ancient times they represented the final part of the sweet string that bakers prepared for the noblest families and left to the peasants. In addition to their usual function as a biscuit, today they are typically served with Vin Santo: it is customary to soak the biscuit inside a glass of wine in order to soften it and make it a little sweeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cantucci are a typical Italian dessert from Tuscany, usually served as an accompaniment to Vin Santo, a liqueur wine produced in the same region. Vin Santo is an amber-coloured wine with a sweet and aromatic flavour, which goes perfectly with the crunchy texture of cantucci. However, if Vin Santo is not available, the cantucci can be paired with other sweet wines, such as Passito di Pantelleria, Moscato d'Asti or Recioto della Valpolicella.

Cantucci and Vin Santo are traditionally served together as an after-meal dessert in Italy. To enjoy them, one starts by dipping a cantuccio in a glass of Vin Santo, letting it soften for a few seconds. Next, you enjoy the soft, wine-soaked cantuccio, enjoying its crunchy texture and the sweet, aromatic flavour of the almonds and wine. The operation is usually repeated with other cantucci, sipping the Vin Santo between bites. The result is a perfect combination of the crunchiness of the cantucci and the sweetness of the wine, which balance each other perfectly.
