In brief (if you’re short on time)
Recently, select wines and our olive oil are available with a new US Local Shipping option, offering delivery in just 2-3 days. Products marked with the US Stock icon on our website are already stocked in the United States and ready to ship quickly through our logistics partner.
The US Local Shipping system: a solution for faster delivery
After noting prolonged delivery times for our American customers, we partnered with MBE Fieramente and their American branch, Bencienni LLC, to develop a solution. Through a logistics partner in Missouri specialized in handling and distributing alcoholic products, we’ve streamlined our order process, reducing waiting times from weeks to mere days.
How US Local Shipping works
Our Missouri warehouse offers a complete logistics service, going beyond just storage. Here’s how it works:
-
Initial shipping and customs clearance: we sent 5,000 bottles of various wines from our winery to the US warehouse via sea freight, which reduces the carbon footprint compared to air freight. Upon arrival, we handled customs clearance for all bottles, allowing future deliveries to proceed without delays.
-
Order processing and preparation: when a customer orders wine through our website or during a tasting at our Montefioralle winery, our system automatically sends the order to the Missouri warehouse. There, the team packages it the same day and arranges express shipping.
-
Quick delivery: orders arrive in 2-3 days via FedEx or UPS, so customers can receive their wines without long wait times.
Coverage Limitations
While US Local Shipping covers much of the United States, some exceptions require orders to be shipped from Italy. States not covered include:
- Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Utah: Shipping unavailable.
- Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island: Certain areas may not be eligible for this service.
With this innovation, our US customers can enjoy a quicker, seamless delivery process, ensuring that Montefioralle wines arrive fresh and ready for their tables.
