Winemaker Notes
Avvoltore is the company’s “flagship” wine and the pride of creator, Adolfo Parentini. Resulting from the blending of indigenous Sangiovese with untraditional Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah all grown in the clay-limestone soil of Avvoltore Hill, this wine marks a milestone for the Moris family's legacy of producing high quality wines in the Tuscan Maremma.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
