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. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

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.

Re-routing a Package

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.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

Producer profile

Furlani

Towering over the alpine city of Trento, at some 700+ meters of altitude, are the tiny parcels of vines tended by Matteo Furlani. Matteo is the current custodian of his family plots high in the Dolomites; he is a fourth generation winemaker.

After studying agronomy, not winemaking (he learned that from his father and grandfather) Matteo set his sights on working his land in the most natural of ways. Chemicals were never a part of what Matteo's predecessors used to tend the vines yet Matteo took an even more rigorous approach, incorporating biodynamic preparations and methodologies in the vineyards today.

Soils are surface clay over schist and broken granite, known as sasso dolomitico, planted in several small parcels surrounding the village of Povo, directly above Trento. Vines are trained in the traditional 'Pergola Trentina' allowing for proper ventilation, drying and sun exposure. Local varieties are prized above all though there is a small planting of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay used to make the "Metodo Interrotto" sparkling wines.

Wines are fermented either in cement tanks or small glass demijohns with no temperature control, no yeast, no sulfur. To clarify the wines they are often racked into demijohns during the winter and placed outside in the snow allowing the wine to naturally settle. The "Metodo Interrotto" or Interrupted Method cuvees essentially refer to an unfinished method Champagnoise, bottle re-fermentation.

Wine region

,

Trentino-Alto Adige is Italy's northernmost wine region, composed of two autonomous provinces: the predominantly Italian-speaking Trentino to the south and the largely German-speaking Alto Adige (Südtirol) to the north, which borders Austria. The Adige River bisects the region east to west, and nearly all vineyards are concentrated in the valleys formed by the Adige and its tributaries. The region sits at approximately the 46th parallel north, the same latitude as central Burgundy, yet the valley floors heat rapidly in summer as warm air rises off the valley, and the Dolomites act as a rain shadow blocking most rainfall. The moderating influence of Lake Garda, via the Ora wind, is critical in reducing summer heat stress on higher-elevation parcels.

Trentino-Alto Adige has nine DOCs and four IGTs, accounting for one of the highest proportions of DOC-classified wine of any Italian region. Key appellations include Trentino DOC, Alto Adige DOC (with six sub-zones), Trento DOC for traditional-method sparkling wines, and Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT, the broad classification under which Pojer e Sandri bottles its wines. Soils vary from glacial alluvial deposits and calcareous silt on valley floors to porphyry, werfen, and dolomitic material on mountain slopes. Indigenous grapes include Nosiola, Teroldego, Marzemino, Lagrein, Schiava, and Groppello, alongside international varieties such as Pinot Nero, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Muller-Thurgau, Riesling, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
