One of the loveliest desserts, if it quite counts as that, to order in restaurants in Tuscany, is a glass of vin santo, that resinous, intense, amber-colored holy wine, with a few almond-studded cookies to dunk in. The idea for this comes purely from that: the ice cream is further deepened by the addition of treacly brown sugar, and the wine in it keeps it voluptuously velvety, even after being frozen. You don’t absolutely need to serve the cantuccini biscuits (biscotti) with it, but the combination is pretty well unbeatable.
