and the other you use as a top.

walnuts, chopped

No references to her statement of the document.
The panforte that I am familiar with does not have a crust or pastry shell.
It is made in a tart pan but you use buttered parchment in the base and
butter the sides or line with buttered parchment. With the exception of the
bread crumbs the filling does come close to your basic panforte.

There's a recipe in Carol Field's Celebrating Italy: the tastes and
traditions of Italy as revealed through ...
   on page 270. That recipe calls for white wine. However, it's not
mentioned in Riley's Oxford Companion to Italian Food.

What's the book? Does it reference a source? Footnotes? Bibliography?
