Prepare a sofrito by frying celery, carrots, onion, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, and bay leaves in a frying pan.

Cut the guinea fowl, season with salt and black pepper, and coat in flour.

Fry the guinea fowl in sunflower oil until browned.

Once the sofrito is ready, add chestnuts, apricots, and prunes to the pan.

Roast additional carrots and parsnips in the oven with salt, pepper, olive oil, and honey.

Transfer the guinea fowl to the frying pan with the sofrito, add Vin Santo and stock, and let it cook for a while.

Put the mixture into a casserole and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes.
