The variant with IGP Piedmont hazelnuts is temporarily NOT available.

Prato Biscuits are prepared with 5 simple ingredients: flour, sugar, free-range eggs, almonds and pine nuts, they do not contain preservatives, animal fats or vegetable fats.
The Dark Chocolate biscuits and the Hazelnut Biscuits are both made with the same dough as the Prato biscuits (flour, sugar, free-range eggs) but instead of almonds and pine nuts, fine dark chocolate (85 % cocoa), or pistachios and almonds are added.
Elegant bags containing individually wrapped Torroncini, ideal for guests.
Contains 6 different flavors, to satisfy all palates.
The Barbero Torrone is a unique product. It is made with the ancient recipe of Asti nougat. In fact, the ancient craftsmanship has been totally maintained, which involves a long cooking in steam boilers for about 7 hours. To do this, egg white is still used which gives the product great friability and does not alter the taste of the nougat. A very high percentage of Piedmont hazelnuts I.G.P. (51%) are included in the recipe and the wildflower honey is selected directly by the company. All the hazelnuts are selected by hand and the nougat after cooking is extracted with wooden "oars" and crushed by hand inside special beech molds. Wood is still used as it is a thermal insulator which allows the nougat to be rested inside the molds for the right amount of time. The product is then left to cool until the next day on marble tables and is collected to be packaged in an artisanal way.
The Santa Cristina Antinori Vinsanto has an intense yellow with amber highlights colour, the wine shows aromas of toasted hazelnuts, honey, and apricots along with light notes of citrus fruit. Full-bodied on the palate with honeyed and nutty flavours, it is a long and supple wine with an intense finish of chestnut flour and herbs. -
History
Since 1858, Prato Biscuits have been baked daily and hand-packed one by one, in the classic Blu Mattei bag.
The Dark Chocolate Biscuits came out of our oven for the first time in 2013, they are also hand-packed one by one, originally in a red bag but since 2019 in the Blu Mattei bag with a Red label.
In 2017 the Mattei family added the new Pistachios and Almonds flavour.
The Davide Barbero company, which has been established since 1838 has passed through the history of Asti, marking it positively for 7 generations.
On November 16, 2015, Davide and his partner Federica had their first son Filippo, the youngest heir of this lucky and “sweet” story that has ancient roots but constantly looks to the future.
The first vintage of Santa Cristina Vinsanto was produced in 1946 by Marquis Niccolò Antinori.
The Antinori family has been dedicated to wine production for more than six hundred years: since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the "Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri", the Florentine Winemaker's Guild.
The hat boxes have been used by the Biscuit factory since the 1920s to ship our products.
A common object in homes up to the 1960s, used to store men's and women's hats up to that time; Ernesto Pandolfini thought of reusing the hat boxes as shipping boxes.
Even today they are collector boxes, reusable as containers for small objects. -
