Label / history
The name Aska means “container” in Etruscan. The Etruscans used such vessels to store wine and olive oil and to collect perfume and nectar. According to legend, Aska was a treasure chest protecting hopes, dreams, happiness and joy, guarded by the Etruscan gods Cuatha and Sernia—the Sun and the Moon.
