"Il Cenone di Capodanno" New Year Gift Basket [6 Pieces]

Il Cenone di Capodanno brings together six familiar Italian festive foods and drinks in a gift designed around the New Year's Eve table.

Why cotechino and lentils for New Year's Eve?

In Italian food culture, cotechino and lentils are closely associated with the arrival of the new year. Lentils are traditionally linked to good fortune and prosperity, while cotechino makes the pairing a substantial celebratory dish. Having both ingredients in the assortment is what gives this gift its particular New Year identity.

Sparkling wine and Italian festive sweets

Astoria Beltà vintage sparkling wine supplies the celebratory element. The traditional panettone and two varieties of Sebaste nougat then offer sweet options to share after dinner or during holiday visits. The distinction between the two nougats is intentional: one is the classic hazelnut version and the other is chocolate-covered.

Who is this selection for?

This six-piece gift suits family and friends, corporate year-end greetings, thank-you gifts and anyone who enjoys the rituals of the Italian holiday table. The mix of savoury foods, sweets and sparkling wine makes the selection versatile without requiring a technical knowledge of wine.
