Vergani Panettone di Milano Classico is the signature product of Vergani and a direct expression of the Milanese panettone tradition that the company has preserved since 1944. Made using the family’s natural sourdough starter, which is carefully refreshed every day, the panettone undergoes a slow fermentation process lasting approximately 72 hours.
The dough is enriched with butter, fresh egg yolks, raisins, and candied orange and citron peel, creating the classic flavor profile associated with traditional Panettone di Milano. Its long leavening time contributes to a light, airy texture with the characteristic elongated strands that define high-quality panettone.
The aroma combines notes of butter, vanilla, and candied citrus fruits, while the flavor balances sweetness with the freshness of the fruit ingredients. Baked in the traditional domed shape and cooled upside down after baking, it retains its softness and distinctive structure.
Vergani Panettone di Milano Classico remains the company’s most recognizable creation and a symbol of its long-standing connection to Milan’s pastry heritage. Today, it is widely regarded as one of Italy’s best-known traditional panettones, combining authentic craftsmanship with decades of experience and family tradition.
