Amedei Toscano Black 63% is perhaps the most immediately approachable expression in the Toscano Black collection.
It offers enough cocoa intensity to satisfy the dark-chocolate lover while its softer bitterness, generous fruit and beautifully smooth texture make it equally appealing to those discovering premium dark chocolate.
Elegant, balanced and wonderfully versatile, it is equally enjoyable on its own or alongside wine, spirits or coffee.
The slightly softer character of the 63% makes it particularly versatile for pairing.
Beautiful with Vin Santo, Tawny Port, Madeira, aged rum or Cognac, while its red-fruit character can also work wonderfully alongside rich, fruit-driven red wines.
For a classic Tuscan pairing, serve with Vin Santo. For something richer, pair with an aged rum or Tawny Port, where caramel, dried-fruit and nutty flavors complement the chocolate particularly well.
For a non-alcoholic pairing, enjoy with espresso, cappuccino or full-bodied single-origin coffee.
