Quantum

Typology: D.O.P.

Area of production: Friuli Isonzo

Terrain: Stony alluvial soil

Varieties: Pignolo 100%

Production: 1 bottle per plant

Harvest: By hand

Notes: in organic conversion since 2019

Vinification: Once hand picked, the grapes are left on racks for fifty to sixty days for “appassimento” and “surmaturazione.”
These processes allow the sugars and flavors of the grapes to concentrate. After the stalks are removed, the red wine begins to macerate and ferment for approximately twenty days. The pignolo then undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for thirty-six months in new French oak barrels before bottling.

Description: Quantum is a powerfully rich and elegant red wine. Dark cherries, tobacco, and cherries leap out of the glass as the aromas slowly evolve over time in the glass. Velvety and warm in the mouth, the noble tannin finish is a staple characteristic of the indigenous variety.

Temperature & recommandation: Quantum should be served in a longstemmed red wine glass at a temperature between 16-18C/60-64°F. The wine is an ideal partner for gamy red meats such as venison and wild boar.
