Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Moris Farms' flagship wine?
- Avvoltore, an IGT Toscana red blend of roughly 75% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Syrah, grown in clay-limestone soil on Poggio all'Avvoltore hill near Massa Marittima. It takes its name from the local dialect word for the hawk native to the Maremma.
- Where are Moris Farms' vineyards located?
- The estate farms two properties on the Tuscan coast: the historic Poggetti estate near Massa Marittima, and Poggio la Mozza in Scansano, the source of its Morellino di Scansano DOCG wines.
- Who helped establish the Morellino di Scansano DOCG at Moris Farms?
- Adolfo Parentini, who married into the Moris family in 1977, began estate-bottled winemaking at Poggio la Mozza in 1981 and was among the producers who helped codify what became the Morellino di Scansano DOCG.
- Do Moris Farms wines pair well with Japanese cuisine?
- Yes — the fresh, mineral-driven Vermentino and the approachable Morellino di Scansano pair well with grilled fish, soy-based dishes, and tempura, while the richer Avvoltore suits grilled or simmered meat dishes.
