A rare image for the prestigious Italian wine producer Baron Ricasoli. While specifically advertising a brand of wine, the poster illustrates the Castello Brolio in the Chianti region of Tuscany. The structure dates back to the 12th century and remains private property at the heart of the Ricasoli family vineyards.
