See here our shipping policy.

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.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. 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.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Producer profile

Gravner

Gravner's vineyards span the picturesque hills that seamlessly cross the border from Italy into Slovenia. These meticulously maintained vineyards feature rows of grapevines arranged on terraces interspersed with trees and water bodies designed to attract wildlife and ensure biodiversity. Gravner is committed to replanting efforts and prioritizing indigenous grape varieties, particularly Ribolla and Pignolo.

In the 1990s, after deciding that stainless steel tanks were unsuitable for his wines, Josko Gravner turned to ancient winemaking techniques from the Caucasus. By 2001, he began fermenting his wines in large amphorae buried underground in his cellars, fully converting to this method for all his wines by 2004.

The white wines, which constitute about 85% of the estate's production, spend approximately ten months in these amphorae, while the reds remain for a shorter period of 1 to 2 months. Gravner insists on aging his wines in large barrels for many years, with most wines being released 7 to 10 years or more after the harvest.

Wine region

Friuli–Venezia Giulia, Italy

The Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine region in northeastern Italy is renowned for its high-quality white wines. This area borders Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east, with the Adriatic Sea to the south. It is celebrated for its unique combination of cultural influences and diverse landscapes, ranging from the coastal areas along the Adriatic to the Alpine foothills.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia is particularly famous for its white wines, comprising 77% of its production. Key grape varieties include Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Ribolla Gialla. These wines are known for their crisp acidity, freshness, and aromatic complexity. The region also produces notable red wines from varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and the indigenous Schioppettino.

The region boasts four DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) and twelve DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) appellations. Prominent DOCGs include Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit and Rosazzo, while notable DOCs encompass Collio, Friuli Grave, and Friuli Isonzo.

The region's climate varies from the Mediterranean influence along the coast to a more continental climate in the inland and northern areas. The diverse terroir, including hilly terrains with well-drained soils and sunny slopes, contributes to the wines' distinctive character. The Alps to the north protect the vineyards from cold winds, while the Adriatic Sea moderates temperatures, providing ideal conditions for vine cultivation.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia has a rich winemaking history that dates back to Roman times. The region's strategic location has made it a crossroads of cultures, influencing its viticultural practices and wine styles. Today, it is known for combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovations, producing some of Italy's most acclaimed wines.
