Born from Barbera and Nebbiolo, Albarossa can trace its roots back to 1938. Grown by Banfi in Piedmont, La Lus (The Light) is the highest expression of this innovative varietal. It is a modern wine upholding the traditions of fine Piedmontese wines.

Castello Banfi was founded in 1978 by the Mariani family, Italian-Americans who had been involved in wine importing and distribution since 1919. They saw great potential in this then sleepy Tuscan region and from the start their goal was to establish a point of excellence in Montalcino. Combining a respect for tradition and the environment with state of the art research and working practices they have helped to transform the regions wines and established Banfis reputation in an impressively short period of time. They produce premium wines in Montalcino and beyond with a profound respect for the land and people from which they come.
