Gino D'Acampo embarks on a journey through the picturesque region of Tuscany, starting in Siena, renowned for its iconic sloping Piazza del Campo and the delectable `panforte`—a luscious cake filled with spices, fruits, and nuts that dates back to the 13th century. After savoring this traditional Christmas delicacy, he is inspired to craft his own chocolate interpretation. Gino then pays a visit to a group of Benedictine monks, exploring their expansive vineyard, where he incorporates their Tuscan red wine into his dish of marinated beef skewers paired with a three-bean salad.
