The grapes for this wine are very varied which adds to the complexity of the wine. The grapes are laid out in large perforated plastic boxes, to ensure excellent ventilation. The boxes are then stacked in the fruttaio, a large airy room and the grapes are periodically monitored so that the appassimento process takes place, during which time a selection of the grapes are slightly dried before being softly pressed.
All of our products include free delivery to your door. We dispatch on Wednesdays every week for delivery on Friday, so if you order before 5pm on a Wednesday, your wine will be delivered that Friday. Occasionally it might be delivered on the Thursday if our courier is being extra efficient!
As soon as we dispatch your wine you'll receive an email from us with the tracking number. That email will also let you know which wines we're sending and include a handwritten note from our wine expert explaining why we've chosen those wines.
We normally deliver using Parcelforce, Hermes or Packfleet, who'll email/text you on the morning of delivery with an accurate time for delivery. You'll need to be in to sign for the delivery, unless you tell us it's OK to leave it with a neighbour or somewhere safe when you sign up.
If you ever have any issues with delivery, we're always here to help. Just drop us a message and we'll get back to you ASAP, normally within the hour.
