Asconi began as a modest family venture nearly three decades ago, striving to create wines that reflect both innovation and regional pride. Rooted in Codru, near Geamana Village, the winery’s vineyards span over 500 hectares Oaks & Corks. Grapes are harvested from carefully selected varietals and often aged in oak American, Hungarian, or French to cultivate depth and complexity. Although the Grapefruit Ruby Red is a contemporary, flavoured blend, it remains anchored in this winemaking philosophy.
