The Panettone Classico A.D. 1476 is an encounter with time itself — a taste preserved and perfected across centuries. Loison’s version captures this legacy with a naturally leavened dough that rises for 72 hours, resulting in a soft, open crumb and a delicate golden hue. The flavor unfolds in layers: the sweetness of raisins, the citrusy brightness of candied orange peel, and the comforting aroma of fresh butter and vanilla. Each slice offers a balance of lightness and depth — tender yet rich, fragrant yet never cloying. The texture is ethereal, almost cloud-like, giving way to bursts of fruit and subtle spice. It’s a timeless indulgence that embodies Italian holiday warmth, designed to be shared at the table yet elegant enough to savor alone with coffee or dessert wine.
Festive Pairing – Serve with a glass of Moscato d’Asti, Vin Santo, or sweet sparkling Prosecco to highlight its citrus and raisin notes.
Breakfast or Merenda – Enjoy lightly toasted with butter, mascarpone, or a spoonful of pistachio cream.
Dessert Reinvention – Use slices in trifle, French toast, or bread pudding to transform leftovers into new delights.
Perfect Gift – Wrapped in Loison’s signature artistic paper, it’s an emblem of Italian refinement and generosity.
The name “A.D. 1476” honors the year when panettone was first recorded in the archives of Milan. Dario Loison’s version faithfully preserves the spirit of that early bread — a simple, leavened dough enriched with butter, eggs, and fruit — while elevating it with his family’s signature craftsmanship. Each panettone is made in Vicenza using natural sourdough starter, free-range eggs, and candied Sicilian oranges. The result is a creation that bridges centuries of Italian baking tradition, connecting present-day connoisseurs to a lineage of celebration, artistry, and shared sweetness.
