Biscotti al Vino Rosso—Red Wine Biscuits

Vegan-friendly and perfect for storing in a biscuit tin.

In the quiet towns across the hills of Umbria, these biscuits have been a kitchen staple for generations. This is a very old recipe, and part of its charm is its versatility; you will find that every village, and likely every family, has its own subtle variation.

They are naturally 100% vegan, relying on the essential pantry staples of our land: extra virgin olive oil, sugar, and wine. While using a local Umbrian red wine is the best way to capture the authentic soul of the region, any quality red wine you have on hand will work beautifully.

These biscuits are at their best when served as a humble, rustic conclusion to a meal, perfect for dipping into a glass of red wine or a sweet passito. Just a word of caution: in our experience, husbands tend to burn their fingers because they simply cannot wait for them to come out of the oven.

From our kitchen to yours.
