Umberto Marchiori and his family are a rare breed indeed - a small Prosecco producer. In a region dominated by mass-produced generic-tasting fizz, Marchiori wines really stand out.

He went to university 20 years ago with a mutual friend of ours, Carlos Rodriguez, which is how we got in touch. Funny how it took a well-travelled Spaniard living in Rioja to find me the real deal of Prosecco.

If you’re living in the Prosecco region, you’d be more likely to have a shot of this at 9am instead of a flat white. This also goes amazingly with raw fish.

• Orders placed after 3pm on a Friday will be delivered on the following Tuesday.

4. Courier & delivery options

We use DPD Local for all deliveries with the default method as delivery to your address - handover required. You’ll receive text and/or an email notification to let you know your case has been shipped and another with your 1 hour delivery window, with both giving you the options to:

• leave in a safe place

• leave with a neighbour

• change the delivery day

• deliver to a different address

• deliver to a DPD Pickup ParcelShop

If you choose a safe place or a neighbour and the parcel is delivered to that place or person, responsibility passes to you from that point onwards.

5. Age verification

This site is for adults only. We operate a Challenge 25 age verification policy. When in doubt DPD will request valid photo ID on delivery to confirm you are 18 or over. Accepted ID includes a passport, driving licence or other recognised photographic ID.

6. Damaged goods in transit

If your case of wine is damaged during transit, we will be notified by DPD and will reorder and dispatch a replacement for you at the earliest opportunity and keep you updated throughout.

7. Returns once delivered

If you decide you need to return your order after it has been delivered, please get in touch with us and we will arrange a collection. Returns are handled on a case-by-case basis once you contact us.

8. General provisions

By placing an order you agree to these delivery terms. We may update or amend these terms from time to time - any changes will apply to orders placed after the update.
