Bolgheri Rosso 'Aska' by Banfi comes from a selection of the best cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc grapes, a Bolgheri that expresses the winning combination of tradition and innovation that has always moved the Banfi experience in the world of Tuscan wine. Soft and deep, Aska is a red for the whole meal, which goes perfectly with game and game dishes, excellent with medium and long-aged hard cheeses. Very intense and complex on the nose, with fruity scents with sweet and elegant tannins. It lends itself to a long aging.

Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers, John and Harry Mariani.
From the beginning, the goal of the two brothers was to create a state-of-the-art winery combined with the most advanced science in the vineyards for the production of premium wines.
Together with the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's
foremost enologists, who understood that due to the richness of the soils and the privileged microclimatic position, the property would have great capacity of development.
In those years, the brothers, John and Harry, also purchased Bruzzone, a historic winery in Piedmont. Founded in 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, today is known as Banfi Piemonte.
