90+ Cellars Barbera d’Alba DOC

Believe it or not, even the most celebrated wineries in the world often have the ability to produce more than they can sell under their own top labels. With this idea in mind, Kevin Mehra launched 90+ Cellars. His concept was simple: allow great wineries to sell more wine through a new brand. By offering to not disclose the source, Kevin found that many wineries were happy to offer him their top wines at lower costs in order to sell more. And in doing so, 90+ Cellars was able to bring these world class wines to more people at better prices.

Our global selection is a result of these partnerships with wineries all over the world. The producers we work with all have a history of scoring 90+ point ratings on their wines. Without the overhead and geographical constraints of managing our own vineyards and wineries, we can focus on bringing you remarkable bottles. No need to wander the aisles searching for a great buy, we’ve done the work for you.

As one of Piedmont’s most beloved and food-friendly red varieties, Barbera d’Alba represents some of Italy’s most expressive and approachable winemaking. Lot 27 is a standout in our Reserve Series, a vibrant, fruit-forward Barbera made from organically grown grapes and priced to make it an everyday pleasure you’ll reach for again and again.

This wine is crafted by third-generation vignerons who also produce our Lot 26 Barolo, bringing generations of Piedmontese expertise to every bottle. Harvested from grapes grown in calcareous clay soils near the town of Monforte d’Alba, the berries undergo a soft crushing followed by a temperature-controlled fermentation using select yeasts. The result is an intensely fruit-forward wine that is complex, versatile, and delightfully chillable.

Dark plum and black cherry burst from the glass, layered with hints of blueberry, chocolate, and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet approachable, with a long, satisfying finish of dried cranberries and a touch of earthiness. Pair with pasta in tomato-based sauces, grilled sausages, or a charcuterie spread.
