A bright and beautifully aromatic expression from Amedei Toscana, Toscano Frutti Gialli combines elegant 63% dark chocolate with dehydrated peaches and apricots.
The gentle bitterness of the cacao provides a refined backdrop for the naturally sweet, fragrant character of the yellow fruits. Peach brings softness and perfume, while apricot contributes a subtle tangy freshness, creating a chocolate that is fruity, vibrant and wonderfully balanced. Amedei itself describes the combination as a harmonious meeting of delicate dark chocolate and refreshing yellow fruit.

Toscano Frutti Gialli is part of Amedei's collection celebrating the relationship between fine chocolate and exceptional fruit.
Here, peaches and apricots are dehydrated to concentrate their flavor before being incorporated into delicate 63% dark chocolate. The result allows the richness of cacao and the aromatic freshness of the fruit to remain clearly defined while working harmoniously together.
Amedei particularly recommends enjoying Toscano Frutti Gialli slightly chilled during the warmer summer months, when its refreshing fruit character becomes even more pronounced.
Amedei Toscano Frutti Gialli is a beautifully expressive combination of 63% dark chocolate, peach and apricot.
Softer and more delicate than the 70% Frutti Rossi, it offers an appealing balance between bittersweet cacao and the fragrant sweetness of stone fruit. The apricot provides just enough acidity to maintain freshness, while peach gives the chocolate an elegant, aromatic quality.
It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy fruit-driven chocolate with refinement rather than excessive sweetness.
The combination of peach, apricot and dark chocolate makes Toscano Frutti Gialli particularly attractive with wines showing stone-fruit, honey and floral characteristics.
Try it with Moscato d'Asti, Sauternes, Tokaji or a late-harvest Riesling. For an Italian pairing, Passito di Pantelleria is particularly compelling, with its apricot, citrus and dried-fruit character complementing the chocolate beautifully.
For something sparkling, a Demi-Sec Champagne offers enough sweetness while its acidity provides a refreshing contrast to the chocolate.
PAIR WITH:
Moscato d'Asti · Passito di Pantelleria · Sauternes · Tokaji · Late-Harvest Riesling · Demi-Sec Champagne
