Il Drago e La Fornace Chianti Classico

This remarkably sleek, expressive, and beautifully balanced Italian red wine captures the historic, sun-drenched soul of the Gallo Nero zone. It opens with an inviting, highly aromatic bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild forest blackberries, and fresh marasca cherries, masterfully layered with sophisticated nuances of balsamic herbs, sweet tobacco leaf, damp earth, and a subtle touch of spicy vanilla from its careful oak aging. On the medium-bodied palate, it showcases an impeccable vertical architecture, driving a rich, fruit-forward core of dark stone fruits with an energetic regional acidity. A fine, seamlessly integrated line of chalky, fine-grained tannins provides remarkable architectural poise, carrying into a long, beautifully fresh, and intensely savory finish.

Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for gastronomy; pairs exquisitely with slow-simmered tomato ragù, artisanal Tuscan charcuterie, grilled pork chops with rosemary, or aged pecorino cheeses.
