What
Italian wines from growers we know, across all twenty regions. Plus Tintilia, which is ours.
In short
What we sell, how to order, when it arrives
How
One message on WhatsApp. No sign-up, no shopping cart, no card details.
When
We reply as soon as we can, in person. Delivery time and cost are written to you before you order.
How it works
How it works, in three steps
You tell us what you're after
The occasion, your taste, what you want to spend. Even just “a serious red, for a dinner”.
We choose
Two or three bottles, not two thousand. With the reason those ones.
We get them to you
To your door. Price and shipping are agreed before you order, never after.
No account needed. No card needed. Just tell us what you like.
Why us
Not a catalogue. A person choosing with you.
An online shop gives you thousands of labels and nobody to help. If wine isn't your trade, you always end up on the same three bottles.

Who chooses
Who picks the wine for you
Fabrizio Morgese has worked as a trade agent out of Molise for over forty years. Grapes is the project he kept in a drawer: taking Italian wine where it cannot travel on its own.
- Direct relationships with the people who make the wine, not a list bought from a third party
- Every suggestion passes a sommelier before it reaches you
- A person always answers, in Italian or in English

Our own wine
Tintilia, the grape that grows only in Molise
It sits above five hundred metres, where almost no other red grape stands the cold.
It is the wine that carries our name, and where Grapes begins.

For wineries
Do you make wine? We take you beyond your own province.
Italy has more than forty thousand wineries. Almost all of them make good wine, and only the people nearby know it.
Let's talk- We tell your story. We don't file you in a list.
- Your story in four languages: Italian, English, Spanish and French.
- It starts with a conversation. No commitment, no cost.
Questions
The questions we get most often
Do I have to register or create an account?
No. One message on WhatsApp is enough. We don't ask for details we don't need.
Is it a person answering, or an automatic reply?
A person. Grapes has no autoresponder, and it never will.
What languages can I write in?
Italian, English, Spanish and French.
How much does a bottle cost?
It depends on what you want to spend: you tell us, and we stay inside it. Price and shipping are written to you before you order.
Do you only sell your own wine?
No. Tintilia is ours, but most of the wines we suggest come from other Italian estates.
Do you ship outside Italy?
Tell us where you are and we'll tell you straight away whether and how we can get the bottle to you.
What if I don't like the wine?
Tell us what didn't work. The next suggestion starts from there: it's how we learn your taste.
