Wines & Curations

What is inside a curated box?

Each box is a curated introduction to authentic Italian wine, co-created by Norma and Marco Molesini of the world-renowned Molesini Wine Shop in Cortona, Tuscany. Every selection is chosen to showcase geographical diversity, regional terroir, and exceptional food pairing potential—delivering bottles directly from Italian winemakers straight to your door.

We currently offer two distinct curated experiences:

  • Fall in Love with Italian Reds (12-Bottle Collection): A deep dive into Italy’s rich red winemaking traditions spanning 9 legendary regions. Features 12 full-sized (750ml) bottles including 3 distinct expressions of Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, and Vino Nobile), plus Amarone, Nebbiolo, Etna Rosso, Aglianico, Cannonau, Primitivo, and more.

  • The Sipster Revolution: Italian Passport Mixed Selection (12-Bottle Collection): A lively journey through Italy’s most refreshing and adventurous styles. Includes 11 full-sized (750ml) bottles and 1 specialty (500ml) dessert wine—featuring Prosecco Extra Dry, Moscato d'Asti, skin-contact Orange Vermentino, crisp coastal whites, a pale rosé, a juicy chilled red (Frappato), and Sicilian Passito.

Our boxes are purely focused on Italian wine expression and education. If you are interested in ordering accompanying Italian gourmet specialty items or pairing accessories, please contact us directly.

Orders & Shipping

Are these wines available locally?

Honestly, no.

These featured bottles are rarely, if ever, imported to the U.S. under any other company, and you likely won't find them on U.S. retail shelves or in big-box stores.

While you might occasionally spot a rare bottle at an exclusive high-end restaurant, these authentic selections are typically unavailable in the U.S. unless you purchase them directly in Italy.

Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?

Once your order is received, the international fulfillment and customs process begins almost immediately. As a result, we are unable to guarantee cancellations or address changes once processing has started. Please double-check all shipping details at checkout!

Media & Collaborations

Policies, Returns & Damages

Due to the nature of our curated wine selections and international alcohol shipping regulations, all sales are final. We are unable to accept returns or offer refunds.

How long will it take for my curated box to arrive?

Because our curated selections ship direct from Cortona, Tuscany straight to your doorstep, door-to-door express delivery typically takes 3 to 5 weeks depending on your location.

You will receive a tracking update via email directly from our international shipping partner as soon as your package ships out, typically within 7 working days. If you haven't received your tracking notification within 10 days of placing your order, please contact us directly so we can follow up with our logistics team in Italy to check on your shipment.

What is your return policy?

We take great care in packaging your wine for its long journey from Cortona, Tuscany straight to your doorstep. But sometimes accidents do happen.

If your order arrives damaged, broken, or the box looks compromised during transit, please accept the shipment and inspect your bottles right away.

Please note that shipping carriers enforce very tight timeframes for claiming damage, so refer directly to the email sent from our shipping partner immediately for step-by-step instructions and requirements on filing a carrier claim..

What if my shipment is damaged?

We love collaborating with fellow wine enthusiasts, local businesses, and independent producers!
