Cantucci were my favourite Italian dessert, particularly when dunked in beautiful dessert wine as you've mentioned above. Much lighter than the famed tiramisu (though that is rather delicious too!). I'm ridiculously happy to see this recipe so that I can continue the tradition when I get home. And yes, in Australia we have biscotti in many cafés also; the ignorance about the singular makes me irate too! Also with panino vs panini! Argh! Anyway, love this post!

I had a friend who used to talk about the marsala with egg yolk. I definitely would try that - it sounds heavenly.

Your cantuccini are perfect, and I love that last photo with the wine! When I would be in Italy, staying with my grandparents, one of the most favorite things I'd have was taralli dipped in Marsala all'uovo. Sadly, I've heard that the new generation isn't interested in having egg yolk in their marsala so it's becoming less and less popular. :(Christina | Christina's Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283573349146845971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-36315228430285630402014-08-24T13:08:51.293-04:002014-08-24T13:08:51.293-04:00love it! ;)love it! ;)Christina | Christina's Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283573349146845971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-4072766903967294452014-08-22T00:44:26.965-04:002014-08-22T00:44:26.965-04:00Mimi - it isn't too sweet, actually!
