Tasting: 2007 Castello del Terriccio 'Tassinaia' Toscana IGT


Dark garnet in color with medium plus legs. It smells of blueberry, cherry, plum, a touch of vanilla and lavender. Tastes of blueberries, prunes, cherry with a kind of wet wool finish. The body is medium plus and the wine feels very polished. The wine has a fairly low acidity and a medium finish.  Decanting was not required.

I paired this with my homemade spaghetti with Italian sausage.   It paired beautifully, but this wine is great all by itself also.   I definitely would recommend this wine.
