Wines of the Times A Revival of Italian Whites The only other bottle from outside the Avellino zone to make our top 10 was the most unusual wine in the tasting, the 2004 Antece from De Conciliis, also from Paestum. Aside from being an older wine, the Antece, indicating it is made in the style of the ancestors, is fermented with the grape skins, as would be the case with a red wine, and then is aged in big barrels with the lees. The result is a spicy golden wine with aromas of coconut and honey and a pleasing, raspy texture, not at all typical of fiano but enjoyable nonetheless.
Wednesday, October 30, 2002 Campania Conquers! Unearthing of an Ancient Wine Region A three star rating went to 1999 Naima, rich Aglianico from Bruno De Conciliis’s mountainous vineyards overlooking the Mediterranean in the southernmost Campania zone, Cilento. "Finesse," was Mr. Asimov's reading, Jazz enthusiasts will recognize "Naima" as a John Coltrane composition. De Conciliis Naima 1999 Spicy and chuncky but with finesse, Asimov said. Horvath termed it complex and delicious. Prial found complexity.
