Moris Farms Avvoltore 2009 75clIGT | Tuscany | ItalySold outSize 75 clAll vintages 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2015 Critics scores 93 Robert ParkerThe 2009 Avvoltore is one of the most refined, elegant wines I have ever tasted from Morisfarms. Sweet, silky tannins frame a core of super-expressive black fruit. The wine flows across the palate gracefully yet there is plenty of underlying structure. This is a fabulous, sleek Avvoltore that is sure to find many fans. Stylistically the 2009 is quite ripe and radiant, but it doesn’t have the heft or weight of a truly opulent year. The wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for at least a handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. Morisfarms is an excellent source for wines that deliver considerable quality for the money. Producer Moris FarmsSplit among two of the finest wine-producing regions in Italy, Moris Farms has become one of Southern Tuscany’s premier producers. The Moris family traveled from Spain nearly 200-years-ago, and due to their elegance and profound dedication, the estate has remained under the Moris name since its founding. The family-owned estate spans 476-hectares wide, 70 of which are planted to vines. Thirty-seven hectares fall under the maritime-influenced Monteregio di Massa Marittima DOC, while the remaining 33-hectares of vines qualify as Morellino di Scansano. The property is an excellent source of distinctly intense and robust Tuscans. Avvoltore is at the pinnacle of their production, the wine has even developed its own cult following over the years. Today, this powerful Sangiovese-based blend grows with great vigor and complexity with 6-8 years’ cellaring. The proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah also play a major role – resulting in a richer, more floral and fruity flavored high-quality wine.
