  (BRONZO Falerno del Massico) Bronzo Dear Friends, The next Galardi? Ok, that’s a loaded statement but the emerging region that dots a volcanic outcropping (a stone’s throw from where Galardi is produced) has a chance to be the next hot ticket in Italy. With high elevation, pristine wilderness and old-vine Aglianico as the backbone, it’s easy to see why this intriguing sub-district has the goods to combine the best of what’s being accomplished on Mt. Etna (Sicily) with the more rugged and intense native varietals of Campania. While there are a handful of upstarts, Felicia has a long head-start and I'm not sure anyone will catch them. What separates Felicia from the others is a feminine quality that owner Maria Brini brings to the table – she’s dealing with thick-skinned southern grapes and her resolve is to balance their masculinity with her own female sensibility. So far, she’s on to something very promising indeed as these are not only memorable wines but they stand out in a crowd for their proud and passionate reliance on the mysterious underpinning of indigenous varietals (in this case, Aglianico and the purple-staining Piedirosso – the exact same composition as Galardi): If you like to discover wine before it becomes, well, “discovered”, here’s your chance while the price is still in line with other high-level examples from Italy (the 2007 version of this wine is slated to be closer to $100 and I'm not sure it’s better than the 2006 – most of you already know my affinity for 2006 on the Italian coast from Liguria all the way to Campania as the structure of the wines is the most complete and refined for many years – the 2006’s from Felicia took full advantage of the growing season). VERY HARD TO FIND and VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a mouthful of spice-drenched, burly fruit that retains a poise that only the very best wines possess....it also goes on and on and on... ONE SHIPMENT ONLY directly from the winery cellar with perfect provenance (this wine is not typically exported): 2006 Masseria Felicia “Etichetta Bronzo” (Falerno del Massico/Campania)- (this is not the regular Rossi, the Etichetta is their very top wine – in addition, this is not the same 2006 Bronzo bottling that was offered last July around the US) Please give us your maximum number up to 24/person and we will allocate accordingly To order: niki@garagistewine.com This parcel is set to depart form Italy – it will arrive in February (please check OARS for local pick up after February 20th).
