Where to start... As most humans are in search of truth, our wine club seeks to lift the veil between the consumer and the producer. We do this through storytelling, but not 'us' telling you the story, rather the winemakers themselves. This means each wine will come with a short video of the producer telling you stories of their land, history and heritage (don't worry - we'll have English subtitles for you).

It is also designed for you to be able to host your own tasting with the video and educational material that is provided.

Alessandro Pepe (with the collaboration of Gaetano Saccoccio and Lindsay Gabbard) with his extensive knowledge and expertise of Italian and French wines having managed the Roscioli cellar of nearly 3,000 labels will personally select the wines for their authentic character - not for flavors built-up in cellars designed to please commercial, mass markets. Most times, these wines will be sustainable, natural, organic or from biodynamic producers (families) and not easily found in the export market.

Roscioli is now doing many partnerships with winemakers to create unique wines which are bottled exclusively for Roscioli.

Surely not. If there is one thing you can learn that you will benefit from above all is trusting in your own palate. No awards, numbers or journalist comments will guarantee you anything. These are mainly designed to sell more wines, to those unwilling to make decisions for themselves.

There are 2 shipments (Spring/Fall) of 12 wines per shipment, meaning 24 bottles per year. Not enough? You can sign up for a double or triple shipment and receive a volume discount.

BILLING:  Each shipment is paid with 2 installments, meaning billing happens 4 times per year.  You will pay the day you sign up and then fall into our automatic schedule for the next billing date.  If you sign up after April 15 or October 15, we will reach out to you to pay the second installment in order to send all your wines.

Spring Shipment:  February 15th and April 15th (wine arrives by mid-April)

Fall Shipment:  August 15th and October 15th (wine arrives by mid-November

Wines arrive abroad by plane, not boat, and we will update you when we are shipping.

*Arrival times can vary by a week based on location and potential delays in customs.  Customs delays are unlikely but can happen, and unfortunately are out of our control.

Typically our shipment will include 4 white (which could be sparkling, white, or even an orange wine) and 8 reds but from time to time we may include a dessert wine or even a Champagne (sometimes we feel extra generous). Unfortunately we are not able to make substitutions, but we do offer Reds Only as well.  For whites only, please contact us.

Corked wine is quite rare (less than 3%) but if you have any problems, please let us know immediately. Try to remember that we often like what is familiar to us, and some of these wines may be new flavors for your palate. Get lost in the aesthetic beauty of discovering and being provoked by new flavors. Don't forget that Italian wines are food wines, not soft plushy California Merlots - pair them to enjoy them!

No worries. We kindly require that you let us know 1 month before the next installment cycle via an email as your wines are ordered months in advance of shipping.  And of course, we'll be sorry to see you go.
