90+ Cellars Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

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.

This flavorful Italian red is made from organic grapes grown on hillside vineyards in the central Italian wine region of Abruzzo. There, warm and dry summers allow for the perfect ripening conditions for the classic Montepulciano.

Cool breezes from the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic Sea provide relief from the intense sunshine. This cooling factor preserves acidity in the grapes and freshness in the wine. The grapes are fermented under strict temperature control in stainless steel tanks resulting in a smooth and elegant red wine that is uniquely expressive. The wine is matured for 6-8 months in a blend of tank and barrel before being bottled.

Medium ruby in color, this wine has aromas of black cherries, dried figs and thyme. Undertones of roasted chocolate give way to smooth tannins and a perfectly balanced finish and a lasting freshness. Perfect for pairing with spaghetti Bolognese, sautéed mushrooms, or sliced Parmigiano Reggiano.
