Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Quorum has an incredibly dense prune bouquet, with hints of herb and dark berry fruit.
The wine is full-bodied, with notes of tobacco, liquorice, and black cherries. The finish is well
structured and lush. There is a rich acidity, characteristic of Barbera wine, but the acid is balanced by
the elegant, soft tannins. Excellent aging potential.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2001 explodes out of the glass with a huge nose of tar, spices, smoke, and sweet vanilla aromas. It offers great depth in its fruit, with notable length and great overall balance in a less concentrated, more restrained style than the 2003. Drink now - 2011.

Quorum started with a group of five friends who represent five of Asti's GREAT Barbera producers: Braida, Chiarlo, Coppo, Prunotto, Vietti and its leading grappa producer, Berta. These friends had a mutual desire to protect the natural resources in Piedmont and help preserve the local customs and culture of Asti. So to create Quorum, each wine producer donated one hectare from their top producing single vineyard estates and they decided to only release Quorum in outstanding years when the quality was deemed to be truly exceptional. Quorum has been called “second to none” by Robert Parker and received international acclaim. Wine from Quorum is more than a wine – it is a true symbol of the entire Piedmont region and the best that Asti has to offer.
