Product Notes

Castiglion del Bosco Campo del Drago Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is quintessentially Italian. Situated in Tuscany, the vineyard yields an exquisite red wine with depth and complexity. Intense ruby in colour, notes of dark fruits, balsamic, and spices dance on the palate, a testament to its maturation in French oak. Robust tannins hint at its aging potential. An expression of an exceptional terroir, it is a wine with class, laden with nuances of rich cherries and lingering earthy undertones. The Campo Del Drago is nothing less than extraordinary, a perfect accompaniment to a hearty meal or leisurely evening.

Tasting Notes

Campo del Drago enjoys one of its highest expressions when paired with the succulence and softness of pigeon, whose breast is served here at its most delicate. The bold spicing of the wine is perfectly at one with the flavor combination bestowed to the meat by the beetroot, celeriac and the exotic overtones of coffee.
