Description

Avvoltore is the company’s flagship wine. The grapes are collected from vineyards planted on the “Poggio dell’Avvoltore” hill. Its clay-limestone soil produces a strong and powerful tannic structure. The first vintage was in 1988, the blend has changed very little since then and, in recent years, has always featured these grapes: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The name describes the Maremma Falcon, a bird of prey that often flies over these vineyards.

Three hundred years ago the Moris Family left Spain and settled in the Tuscan Maremma. A fresh and genuine love for a still virgin land, barely touched by the cumbersome presence of man, yet rich in extraordinary natural resources whose value is enhanced by doting hands. This love is also and especially for the wine produced in this idyllic countryside, what has always been a splendid passion for the Moris Family.

The farm's history is enclosed in this profound and wise simplicity that harkens to days gone by, fruits cultivated with care and dedication by people who love what they have chosen to do: a simple history enshrined in every bottle that Morisfarms offers you. Read more
