Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Producer profile

Jean-Yves Péron

The I Vicini project is the Italian chapter of Jean-Yves Péron's winemaking life. Péron grew up in Savoie, studied oenology in Bordeaux in the late 1990s, and trained with two of the most influential figures in French natural wine: Thierry Allemand in Cornas and Bruno Schueller in Alsace. After additional time in Oregon and New Zealand, he returned to the Alps and established his domaine in 2004 in Chevaline, near Lake Annecy, focusing on old-vine micro-parcels of Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, Roussanne, and Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.

The négociant license he obtained in 2011 allowed him to begin purchasing organically farmed grapes from trusted growers, first in Savoie and later across the French border. The catastrophic frost of 2016, which devastated the Savoie harvest, accelerated his cross-border sourcing and led to the formalization of the I Vicini label in 2017. The name, Italian for "the neighbors," refers to the producers just across the Alps in Piedmont, a region Péron has long admired for its indigenous variety diversity and its food-oriented wine culture. The project took shape with the guidance of Pietro Vergano, a Piedmont-based wine professional, and is built on long-term sourcing relationships with organic growers including Paolo Angelino in Casale Monferrato and Giorgio Barbero in Asti.

The I Vicini Moscato is among the most unusual wines in the range, because the variety itself pushes against Péron's usual approach. Where most of his wines lean on maceration and extended lees contact to build structure, the Moscato is handled for freshness and aromatics above all else: native yeast fermentation that stops naturally at slight sweetness, gentle lees contact for texture, and zero sulfur additions to keep the aromatic profile as clear as possible. It is one of the few wines across both his Savoie estate and the I Vicini range where the emphasis falls on delicacy rather than structure.

Wine region

Savoie, France

Piedmont is Italy's most wine-diverse northwestern region, enclosed by the Alps on three sides and bisected by the Po River, covering a landscape of rolling hills, broad plains, and mountain foothills that produce a wider range of grape varieties and wine styles than any other single Italian region. The Asti and Cuneo provinces in the southern Langhe and Monferrato hills are the heartland of Piedmontese viticulture, home to Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Grignolino, Moscato Bianco, and many other indigenous varieties.

Moscato Bianco is the grape behind Moscato d'Asti DOCG and Asti Spumante DOCG, two of Piedmont's most recognized wine styles internationally. The variety is planted primarily across the Langhe hills, particularly in the Canelli, Santo Stefano Belbo, and Serralunga d'Alba zones, at elevations typically between 820 and 1,640 ft above sea level. Calcareous clay soils, which retain moisture through the dry summer months and contribute to the aromatic intensity that defines the variety's profile, are the dominant soil type across these sites. The morning fog that settles in the valleys each autumn, known locally as the nebbia, moderates temperature and slows ripening in the final weeks before harvest, preserving the delicate aromatics that make Moscato Bianco one of the world's most recognizable grape varieties by scent alone.

In the conventional production of Moscato d'Asti, grapes are typically chilled and held in pressurized tanks to prevent fermentation until bottling time, when the sparkling wine is produced through a single controlled fermentation in a sealed autoclave. Jean-Yves Péron takes a fundamentally different approach for the I Vicini Moscato: the grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts in an open vessel, and the fermentation stops naturally when the yeast runs out of available sugar or energy, leaving behind residual sweetness without any technological intervention. This creates a still, lightly sweet wine with a purity and directness quite different from commercially produced Moscato d'Asti. The calcareous clay soils at approximately 985 ft elevation on semi-slopes in the Piedmont hills provide a mineral backbone that anchors the wine's natural sweetness and keeps the aromatic profile from becoming cloying.
