context_page_description: Biscotti, known also as cantucci, are Italian almond biscuits that originated in the Tuscan city of Prato. They are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, crunchy, and may be dipped in a drink, traditionally Vin Santo.
context_section_description: Since they are very dry, biscotti traditionally are served with a drink, into which they may be dunked. In Italy they are typically served as an after-dinner dessert with a Tuscan fortified wine called vin santo.
  Outside of Italy, they more frequently accompany coffee, including cappuccinos and lattes, or black tea.
  In Catalonia, carquinyolis are usually served with a small glass of a sweet dessert wine, such as muscat or moscatell.
