WINE DESCRIPTION
Quorum represents a Barbera d'Asti crafted through the collaboration of five historic Piedmont wineries and a distillery. Their shared objective was to revive the historical heritage of the Asti region by creating an exceptional and rare wine, accompanied by a grappa of the same name. This endeavor was realized through the establishment of Hastae, an association named after the ancient Roman appellation for the city of Asti, renowned as a symbol of wine. Hastae embodies the collective commitment to the development of this region's most significant and defining wine, Quorum.
Quorum is the result of selecting and processing the finest Barbera grapes from each family's vineyards. It's a wine crafted exclusively from 100% Barbera grapes, aged for ten months in small, new French oak barrels. Following blending, the wine is bottled without filtration and allowed to mature in the bottle for several years. The inaugural vintage of Quorum was produced in 1997 and introduced to the market in the spring of 2000.

This Barbera d'Asti from Hastae Quorum is a full-bodied and complex wine with a deep ruby color.On the nose, it has aromas of ripe red fruit, with hints of dark chocolate and spices. On the palate, it is rich and elegant with flavors of ripe, juicy cherries and plums, with a hint of tobacco and leather. The finish is long and persistent, with subtle notes of herbs and spices. An excellent choice for any occasion.
