Add the almonds and mix just until distributed. Do not overwork. On a floured board, shape the dough into a log, flatten, put on a baking sheet, and chill for 2 hours to allow the dough to relax. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions on a lightly floured work surface. Using your hands, roll each portion into a log about 3 inches in diameter. Top generously with crystal sugar.

Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 39 dollars per bottle.

Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee

This is Iron Horse's most romantic bubbly. We describe it as dangerously, deliciously easy to drink, fruit forward, dry and elegant, with tiny bubbles and a remarkabley long finish.
