'Egisto A' gift box

Medium Hatbox with an assortment of Biscottificio Mattei products and Antinori wines

• Description

  The 'Egisto' Hatbox offers the almost complete assortment of Biscottificio Antonio Mattei biscuits: the Prato biscuit (also called 'Cantuccio' or 'Cantuccino' with almonds) and the subsequent versions of Biscuits with dark chocolate, pistachios and almonds (the variant with IGP Piedmont hazelnuts is currently NOT available); and a selection of dessert wines.
  It contains a 500 g pack of Prato biscuits, a 500 g pack of Biscuits with dark chocolate, a 500 g pack of Biscuits with pistachios and almonds, a 500 ml bottle of Vinsanto Santa Cristina Antinori and a 750 ml bottle of Moscato d'Asti Prunotto.
  
  Biscuits from Prato are prepared with 5 simple ingredients: flour, sugar, free-range eggs, almonds and pine nuts, and do not contain preservatives, animal fats or vegetable fats.
  The Biscuits with Dark Chocolate and those with Pistachios and Almonds are made with the same dough as the Prato Biscuits (flour, sugar, free-range eggs), and instead of almonds and pine nuts, fine drops of dark chocolate (85% cocoa) or pistachios and almonds are added.
  
  The Antinori Santa Cristina Vinsanto is intense yellow with amber highlights, 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 flavors, it is a long and supple wine with an intense finish of chestnut flour and herbs.
  
  The Prunotto Moscati d'Asti is pale yellow color.
  On the nose the aroma binds with notes of acacia honey and hawthorn.
  In the mouth: full, dense, vigorous and elegant, with a final balanced, fresh and pleasant.

• 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 flavor.
  
  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.
  
  In 1904, in the council chamber of the municipality of Serralunga, in the presence of the Notary Giacomo Oddero and the young witness Alfredo Prunotto, the Cantina Sociale "Ai Vini delle Langhe" was founded.
  In 1989, the Antinori family began its collaboration with the Prunotto company, initially dealing with distribution only. In 1994, with the withdrawal of the Colla brothers, the Antinori family started production too, maintaining the excellent quality level strongly desired by Alfredo Prunotto.
