"The 2006 Falerno del Massico Etichetta Bronzo explodes onto the palate with deep, sensual layers of minerals, ash, graphite, violets and dark fruit. The tannins are imposing but they are matched pound for pound by the rich, textured fruit. There is a level of clarity and vibrancy to the 2006 that is breathtaking. Licorice, new leather and blackberry jam linger on the refined yet intense finish. The 2006 is admirable for its exotic fruit and stunning overall balance. Readers will not want to miss this gem . . . . Masseria Felicia is one of the emerging producers of Campania’s Falerno district, a region that enchanted Roman poets several thousand years ago. Set on the hills of the Massico volcano north of Naples, these 80% Aglianico, 20% Piedirosso blends ooze with character and personality."
