There’s something truly special about slowing down, pouring a beautiful glass of wine, and indulging in a simple yet elegant treat that complements it perfectly. One of Italy’s most beloved traditions — biscotti, the twice-baked cookie — offers just that.

If you’ve never experienced the joy of dipping crisp, flavourful biscotti into a glass of your favourite wine, you’re missing out on one of life’s most delightful rituals. At Urban Baker Co., we’ve reimagined this classic Italian indulgence with our own handcrafted twist — baked with premium ingredients, balanced sweetness, and a touch of creativity in every flavour.

A Guilt-Free Pleasure

Cookies often fall into the “guilty pleasure” category, but biscotti stand apart. They’re lighter, less sweet, and delightfully crisp — making them the perfect companion for an afternoon espresso or an evening glass of wine.

At Urban Baker Co., we bake our biscotti with care, using real butter, toasted nuts, fine chocolate, and zesty citrus, without artificial flavours or preservatives. The result is a beautiful balance between indulgence and mindfulness — the kind of treat you can truly savour without regret.

How to Pair Biscotti with Wine

The secret to the perfect pairing is simple: choose a wine that’s sweeter than your biscotti, or the wine may taste bitter by contrast. Just like any great pairing, it’s about harmony — balancing the nutty crunch, subtle sweetness, and delicate flavours of each biscotti with the body and character of your wine.

To make it easy, we’ve put together a few of our favourite pairings:
