TARTUFO
Perhaps the most classic expression in the collection: a rich chocolate center enriched with pieces of prized Piedmont IGP Hazelnut, finished with a delicate dusting of bitter cocoa. Deep, nutty and intensely chocolatey.
DELIZIOSO
A smooth milk chocolate shell surrounding a crunchy heart of Piedmont IGP Hazelnuts. Creamy chocolate and roasted hazelnut create an irresistible combination of softness and crunch.
SOLARE
A deliciously Italian creation inspired by zabaglione, enclosed within a milk chocolate shell. Rich, creamy and gently aromatic, with the warmth and indulgence of the classic Italian dessert.
VIN SANTO
A sweet milk chocolate coating surrounding a heart flavored with Vin Santo and distillates. A wonderfully Tuscan expression that brings together creamy chocolate and the distinctive character of Italy's traditional sweet wine.
CAPRICCIO
A delicate white chocolate shell enclosing an elegant filling of Fior di Vite and grappa. Soft, aromatic and sophisticated, with the spirit providing a warming contrast to the sweetness of the white chocolate.
PASSIONE
A dark chocolate shell surrounding a rich rum-infused filling. The deepest and most intense expression in the assortment, bringing together bittersweet cacao and the warmth of rum.
Aroma:
An inviting spectrum of cacao, roasted hazelnut, sweet wine, zabaglione and warming spirits, moving from creamy and nutty aromas toward darker chocolate and rum.
Palate:
Rich and beautifully varied. Milk and white chocolate provide creamy sweetness, while dark chocolate introduces greater cacao intensity. Hazelnut, Vin Santo, grappa and rum give each creation its own distinctive personality.
Texture:
Wonderfully indulgent, combining silky chocolate coatings, soft truffle centers and crunchy Piedmont hazelnuts. The changing textures are an important part of the experience.
Finish:
Long and satisfying, with lingering chocolate and roasted hazelnut accompanied by the warming aromatic character of sweet wine and spirits.
Amedei approaches these small creations with the same attention to ingredients and craftsmanship that defines its celebrated chocolate bars.
The collection is particularly Italian in character, bringing together fine chocolate with Piedmont hazelnuts, Vin Santo, zabaglione and grappa, alongside the richer international character of rum.
The result is a box that moves beyond a conventional chocolate assortment and becomes a distinctly Italian after-dinner tasting experience.
Amedei I Tartufi is an indulgent collection for lovers of chocolate, nuts and fine spirits.
Its six creations offer impressive variety: the classic hazelnut richness of Tartufo and Delizioso, the creamy indulgence of Solare, the Tuscan personality of Vin Santo, the aromatic elegance of Capriccio, and the darker, warming character of Passione.
Beautifully presented and wonderfully suited to sharing, it makes an excellent gift, after-dinner chocolate selection or accompaniment to a bottle of dessert wine or fine spirit.
This is perhaps one of the most enjoyable Amedei collections to pair with wine and spirits because several of its chocolates already incorporate them.
A bottle of Vin Santo would be my first choice for the entire collection. Tawny Port or Madeira works beautifully with the chocolate and Piedmont hazelnut creations, while aged rum naturally complements Passione. Cognac or Armagnac also makes an elegant after-dinner partner.
For a non-alcoholic pairing, serve with freshly prepared espresso.
PAIR WITH:
Vin Santo · Tawny Port · Madeira · Aged Rum · Cognac · Armagnac · Espresso
Amedei recommends storing the collection in a cool, dry place between 14°C and 18°C and lists a shelf life of 8 months.
