Wine Advocate
“The 2001 San Leone, an unusual blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Petit Verdot, is even richer and riper in aroma, very tarry and licorice-laden, dense and almost chewy in texture, very mineral from the contribution of Petit Verdot, muscular, weighty, and with an important future potential.

Avvoltore is Morisfarms' flagship Maremma Toscana bottling, made from the family's coastal Tuscan vineyards near Massa Marittima.

2005 Poderi Stebbi "Casole" Toscana
Quantity: 2
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Provenance: From a LA based collector, purchased from reputable retailers and professionally stored since. Hand delivered to K&L.
Condition: Excellent
The 2005 Poderi Stebbi Casole Toscana IGT comes from a small Casole estate that produced only a few documented vintages, making this bottling one of the rare glimpses into a low-profile Tuscan project working outside the commercial spotlight. Stebbi operated on an intimate scale, relying on estate fruit and straightforward cellar work typical of early-2000s Toscana IGT producers who favored authenticity over volume. With the label no longer active and production never broad enough to establish a market presence, the 2005 surfaces only occasionally, offering a scarce, estate-driven snapshot of the flexible IGT category during that period.

Condition: Excellent
Mongrana is Querciabella's Maremma Toscana IGT bottling, drawn from the estate's coastal Tuscan vineyards and typically built around Sangiovese with Bordeaux varieties in the blend. Querciabella, founded in Chianti Classico in 1974, became an early Tuscan adopter of organic and biodynamic farming practices.

2005 Carpineta Fontalpino "Montaperto" Toscana
Quantity: 2
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Provenance: From a LA based collector, purchased from reputable retailers and professionally stored since. Hand delivered to K&L.
Condition: Excellent
Carpineta Fontalpino’s Montaperto comes from vineyards around Montaperto in Castelnuovo Berardenga, a southern Chianti Classico zone farmed by Gioia and Filippo Cresti. The estate began in the early 1960s and works organically with indigenous yeasts, focusing on Sangiovese supported by smaller plantings of Gamay and Alicante. The site’s heavier southern soils and warmer conditions shape a more muscular profile. The 2005 Montaperto Toscana is a blend of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Gamay, and 20% Alicante, aged in barrique.

Wine Spectator
“Rich and full of ripe cherry, strawberry, leather and mineral aromas and flavors, this red is firmly structured, showing terrific balance and a long aftertaste of tea and mineral. Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. (BS)” (05/2016)

Vinous
“The 2011 Pergolaia is an attractive entry-level wine. Juicy and exuberant, the 2011 is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Sweet red cherry, spice and earthiness abound in an expressive, supple red. The 2011 needs time in the glass to open up for the aromatics to find a bit more focus than at the outset, but it is delicious just the same. (AG)” (07/2015)
