Tasting - Placido Chianti

Name: Placido Chianti D.O.C.G

Variety: Sangiovese

Region: Chianti (Tuscany)

Country: Italy

Year: 2010

Price: $18 (retail) 

Winery review: Ruby red.  Intense aroma that hints of violets.  Dry and well balanced with black fruit flavors followed by a long finish.  Placido Primavera Chianti is the perfect accompaniment to meats, pastas and spicy foods.


My review: This Chianti is smoky, earthy, and light bodied.  The finish doesn't seem to stick around for too long, in my opinion.  It's fairly dry, but it isn't overly acidic.  I would really like to try this wine with food to discover how it's flavors and aromas are affected.    

I did not have this wine with food.
