✨ Technical Specifications
Prunotto's Quorum is born from a remarkable collaborative project initiated by 'Hastae', an association of historic Piedmontese winemakers dedicated to elevating the Barbera grape to world-class status. Named after the ancient Roman designation for Asti, this unique venture combines the expertise of top estates to craft a definitive Barbera d'Asti Superiore. Grown in the clay-marled soils of Asti, the wine undergoes meticulous selection, fermentation, and aging in French oak barriques. The result is a deeply concentrated red boasting rich notes of blackberry, plum, sweet spices, and toasted oak, supported by Barbera's signature vibrant acidity and a velvety texture.
🍾 About the Producer
Originally established in 1904 as the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe', the estate was acquired and redefined by visionary winemaker Alfredo Prunotto in 1922, establishing a legacy of excellence in Alba, Piedmont. After decades of pioneering single-vineyard cru bottlings under the Colla family, the historic estate became part of the Marchesi Antinori family in 1989, blending centuries-old Tuscan heritage with classic Piedmontese tradition. Prunotto champions precision viticulture and terroir-focused winemaking across the region's top terroirs, crafting legendary Nebbiolo expressions such as Barolo Bussia and Barbaresco Bric Turot alongside vibrant Barbera d'Asti, Roero Arneis, and fine grappas.
