Bake at 325 degrees F 1 hour or until garlic is soft. Cool. Squeeze garlic from peel. Combine wine and saffron in a saute pan; bring to a simmer. Cook 5 minutes over low heat; do not boil. Set aside to cool. Beat butter, roasted garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Gradually add wine mixture, beating until liquid is incorporated.
