Milan is the town where Panettone originated, and just here, 70 years ago, the history of Vergani began. Beginning from the 50s, this confectionery became an artisan workshop specialized in bakery products as well as sweets prepared for special occasions. Thus, for over 60 years, Vergani family has preserved the traditional recipe, process, and culture of the original Panettone of Milan, prepared exclusively with natural yeast, with 72 hours of processing. In recent years, Vergani has proposed many other products, such as Colomba, Chiacchiere, Croissants, different snacks, Veneziana. The range of Panettone, too, in recent years has been expanded and enriched with the Excellence line.
