A spectacular effort, this blend of 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso exhibits an inky/blue/purple color as well as sumptuous aromas of vanilla, creosote, blackberry liqueur, and minerals. Full-bodied and youthful, with great texture and purity in addition to a multilayered mouthfeel and a long finish, this is a potential star of this fascinating viticultural region. Wow! Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015. Trivia buffs will want to know that Masseria Felicia is situated near the Fattoria Galardi, which makes the magnificent Aglianico-based Terra di Lavoro.
