Naturally Leavened Artisan Fruit Bread with Sultanas
(Tuesday Oct 21 , 2025)
Tasting Notes of the Curator
The Filone Uva is simplicity elevated — a loaf that captures the essence of time, care, and craft. Naturally leavened through Loison’s signature sourdough process, its dough achieves remarkable lightness and an airy crumb that stays moist for days. Each slice reveals plump, sun-dried sultanas that release delicate notes of honey and floral sweetness, perfectly balanced by the gentle richness of butter. The texture is soft yet resilient, ideal for slicing and savoring at any time of day. The slow leavening process imparts subtle complexity, while the natural sugars of the raisins provide a mellow sweetness that lingers without excess. Finished with a light glaze and a golden crust, the Filone Uva is an ode to patience and purity — the kind of flavor only heritage baking can produce.
Pairings and Suggestions
Morning Delight – Enjoy with coffee, milk, or tea; its natural sweetness makes it perfect for breakfast.

Dessert Inspiration – Toast slices lightly and serve with vanilla ice cream or drizzled with melted butter and cinnamon sugar.
Wine Pairing – Complements Vin Santo or Moscato for a refined Italian finale.
The Heritage of Simplicity
The Filone Uva revives a classic recipe from Alessandro Loison, lovingly updated by his son Dario. Born from the same tradition that gave life to panettone, the Filone celebrates simplicity — where quality ingredients and time-honored methods speak louder than ornamentation. Naturally leavened with sourdough and baked in small batches in Vicenza, it is a bread that recalls Italy’s past while remaining timelessly elegant. Its restrained sweetness and golden crumb reflect Loison’s philosophy: true indulgence lies in balance, patience, and authenticity.
