"Dried cherries and hints of sage and camphor lift up from the 2019 Rupicolo. It's silky and round in texture, with ripe red and black fruits that give way to a more salty and savory impression toward the close. Hints of fine tannins linger through the medium-length finale, along with tart woodland berries and spice." Vinous

Even with the entry-level wine, Morisfarms does not deviate a bit from its usual quality standard, which has delighted us with its consistency for over 10 years now.

The rugged, red-tinged rocky landscape of Ripe in the immediate vicinity of the vineyards gave its name to the Riparosso. Its intense bouquet of delicately fresh character is beguiling, the velvety and mild taste absolutely seductive. SUPERIORE.DE

Excellent, single-varietal red wine from the ancient southern Italian vine Nero di Troia. Violante convinces with its fine-smelling, red-berried and delicately smoky bouquet.

"A bouquet of musky cherry, blackberry and wild herbs lifts up from the 2019 Sangiovese. It’s lean yet cooling on the palate, displaying tart woodland berries offset by hints of mint and salty minerals. A subtle tug of fine tannin lingers, framing the expression nicely, as the 2019 resonates on black fruits and a twang of exotic savory spice." Vinous

"A big, rich and fruit-forward red with lots of ripe and dried-fruit character that gives a fig undertone. It’s full and flavorful. If you like rich reds, here is one." James Suckling

The deep red Cuveé from Montepulciano and Sangiovese exudes the beguiling scent of sour cherries, coffee, marjoram and vanilla. At the palate flattering, juicy and very dense.

"The 2018 Rosso Piancarda is intensely spiced and perfumed, as medicinal cherries and raspberries are complemented by dusty rose and sweet cedar. On the palate the Piancarda takes a turn toward the savory spectrum. Salty and full of zesty minerality, the 2018 shows sapid red fruits, hints of plum and brisk acids that keeps the expression fresh. Grippy tannins linger through the finale, as hints of sour citrus and tart berries slowly taper off." Vinous

"Taut tannins are enmeshed with ripe black and red currant fruit flavors in this fresh red, which is medium-bodied, with herb and iron accents emerging on the chalky finish." Wine Spectator

Cherry-red Valpolicella with a pleasantly light scent of currants and raspberries. Very harmonious and discreet on the palate, velvety and fruity on the finish. An ideal accompaniment to food, due to its slender character also good for lunch. SUPERIORE.DE

"A smoky mix of raspberry preserves, sage and freshly cracked pepper waft up from the 2020 Valpolicella Nanfre'. This is silky in texture and decidedly savory, repleting the pepper notes from the bouquet that mix with salty minerals and brisk acids, yet I’m craving more freshness. It finishes long and staining, only lightly structured with hints of licorice." Vinous

"Aromas of fresh red cherries and berries, as well as a lightly earthy, nutty note, which develops into a caramelly flavor on the palate that, together with the persistent fruit and lightly firm tannin, gives a very nice, creamy-fruit finish with good length. Delicious, young Valpo." James Suckling

On the palate then marked by beautiful juiciness and freshness, opens with delicate pressure, shows character, slightly salty, coherent palate progression." Falstaff

"A harmonious red, medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and well-knit flavors of crushed black cherry, espresso crema, violet and spice. A streak of rich, loamy earth is the savory underpinning that emerges on the chewy finish." Wine Spectator

"An alluring mix of clove, allspice, ginger and dusty rose rises up from the 2017 Salice Salentino Riserva. It's silky in texture yet lifted in feel, presenting a pure display of red and blue fruits giving way to exotic spices and sweet tannins that saturate toward the close. Notes of plum and licorice linger through the long, lightly structured finale." Vinous

Ruby red interspersed with garnet slivers, intense and concentrated bouquet of red berries, liquorice and some flint. On the palate, the pleasingly juicy extract with nicely balanced wood tones and floral notes is evident.
