Description
It was the Etruscans who introduced viticulture in Tuscany and in Italy. This ancient people was so skilled in cultivating grapes and in making wine that large quantities of Etruscan wine were marketed along the Mediterranean routes and beyond the Alps.
Widespread were the religious practices in honor of the god of Fuflun wine in which the wine itself was used as a tool for connecting daily life and spirituality. So, precisely because of these considerations, we decided to call our wine "AISNA", which in Etruscan meant "Divine" and to depict in our emblem the god Fuflun with a cup of wine in hand while Artames, goddess of the cycles of nature and fertility, gives him a bunch of grapes.
