Tiri Traditional Panettone

Italian excellence in naturally leavened baked goods

The history of the Tiri family began in 1957 in Acerenza, Basilicata, where Vincenzo Tiri opened the family’s first bakery. Today, the third generation continues this tradition, combining artisanal craftsmanship, research, and a strong connection to the local territory.

Tiri Panettone has received numerous awards over the years and has become one of the most iconic products in contemporary Italian pastry making.

The Traditional Panettone is made using the original Tiri Method, based on three dough stages and 72 hours of processing. The sourdough starter used by the family comes from a culture dating back to the mid-1930s and is refreshed daily in the laboratory.

Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut

Contemporary elegance from the heart of Franciacorta

Contadi Castaldi is one of the distinctive names of Franciacorta, in Lombardy. Its winery is housed in the historic Fornace Biasca, a former brickworks in Adro that Vittorio and Mariella Moretti transformed into a winery during the development of Franciacorta in the 1980s. Its large spaces and former brick-firing tunnels proved particularly suitable for the long bottle ageing required by the Metodo Classico. Today, the restored winery covers approximately 7,000 square metres.

Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut is produced from a blend dominated by Chardonnay, complemented by Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. Made according to the traditional Metodo Classico, it combines freshness, elegance, and a fine, persistent perlage. Its aromatic profile moves from white flowers, citrus fruits, and white peach to more complex notes of honey, candied citrus, anise, nougat, sweet spices, and liquorice.

Why these two products were paired

The Tiri Traditional Panettone and Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut create a pairing based on balance, freshness, and aromatic harmony.

The wine’s notes of citrus, white peach, honey, and candied fruit naturally complement the aromas of raisins, candied orange, butter, and vanilla found in the panettone. At the same time, its fine bubbles, freshness, and marked savoury character provide an elegant contrast to the richness and softness of the traditional cake.

The result is a harmonious combination in which neither product overwhelms the other: the panettone provides richness and aromatic intensity, while the Franciacorta refreshes the palate and enhances its citrus and candied-fruit notes.

Most importantly, this pairing brings together two different expressions of Italian craftsmanship: the art of natural leavening from Basilicata and the tradition of Metodo Classico sparkling wine from Franciacorta.

Why it is an excellent corporate gift

This selection is much more than a traditional Christmas present. It combines two prestigious Italian products with strong identities, offering companies an elegant way to express appreciation during the holiday season.
