Campania: Idillio is balance and harmony incarnated. It has character and an approachable structure. Ruby red colour. It has pronounced aromas, from the typical spicy to red and black berry fruit-driven notes, with a soft but lively tannic structure. It has medium, harmonious structure.
''Campania’s most important red variety is Aglianico. It is my opinion that, in terms of its ability to make seriously good wines, Aglianico is at a quality level similar or close to that of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese. One taste of a great Aglianico, with its penetrating flinty notes of red and black cherry and hints of camphor, minerals, licorice and violet, will immediately awaken the senses to the variety’s inherent greatness. Aglianico does remarkably well in volcanic areas, of which there is no shortage in Campania. The fact that Aglianico wines can also age remarkably well only adds to their mystique.''
