The land was awarded to the family back in the Middle Ages and remained in the possession of its descendants until modern times. Placido Chianti is an uncommonly distinguished Chianti produced in the historic Tuscan hills of the delimited Chianti D.O.C.G. zone. A lovely red coloured wine with a firm, dry almost earthy bouquet. Ripe rounded berry fruit comes through on the palate while this wine has a dry, harmonious taste and enjoyable finish. (6 x 75 cl)
