Christmas is the season when gifting becomes language—a gesture of care and an opportunity to share something of ourselves through what we choose to offer. In Italy, where food culture is woven into history and identity, the food and beverage universe lends itself to gifts that transcend mere objects: they are sensory experiences, territorial narratives, and gestures of beauty.
For Christmas 2025, we present four gift ideas that marry craftsmanship, design, refinement, and contemporary spirit. Four interpretations of excellence spanning truffle, pastry, salmon, and caviar—a vision of gifting that reaches beyond the ordinary.
Savini Tartufi × Enoteca Pinchiorri: Truffle as Narrative
With LE NOIR, Savini Tartufi launches an unprecedented collaboration with Enoteca Pinchiorri, reimagining truffle as a narrative object. This limited-edition product reads like a small noir tale: essential in recipe—precious black truffle, Cantabrian anchovies, pine nuts, garlic, extra virgin olive oil—yet richly layered in aesthetic.
UV screen printing reproduces the gleba’s texture, rendering each package unique. A gift for those who understand gastronomy as an art form and storytelling.
Mosaico Food Experience × Veuve Clicquot: When Northern Seas Meet Champagne
The most sophisticated expression of gastronomic gifting arrives from Mosaico Food Experience with Coda Nera Millesimato, a Norwegian salmon available only in winter. From Skjervøy island, it matures slowly in the cold, pristine waters of the North, developing a leaner, more defined structure of superior quality.
To celebrate this singularity, a gift box pairs the Millesimato with Veuve Clicquot’s Extra Brut Extra Old, a cuvée built from reserve wines subjected to double aging. For those seeking experience over product: an encounter between Nordic waters and Champagne terroir.
Babbi: Memory, Childhood, and Ritual from Romagna
From Romagna comes a proposal rooted in memory and ritual: Babbi’s Christmas Edition 2025. Chiara Varotto’s illustrations transform boxes and tins into objects that evoke vintage Christmas albums, revisited with contemporary sensibility.
Viennesi De Luxe, Waferini Oro, decorative baubles, hanging tins, and the Bauletto Dolce Natale compose a collection celebrating Christmas through small gestures: opening a tin, sharing a wafer, and adorning the home. Sweetness interpreted with discretion and elegance.
Pasticceria Antoniazzi × Cru Caviar: The Unexpected
Historic Pasticceria Antoniazzi of Bagnolo San Vito, renowned for natural leavening and rigorous ingredient selection, offers an extraordinary Christmas proposal. Alongside classic creations: a panettone where high-quality dark chocolate meets Cru Caviar’s crunchy caviar, a product of 100% dehydrated caviar. The drying process concentrates aroma and flavor while preserving organoleptic integrity.
The result: a surprising equilibrium between chocolate’s deep sweetness and caviar’s savory crunch. A refined pairing for those seeking a genuinely unique sensory experience during the holidays.
