Where Glass Meets Taste
With strikingly voluminous curves and a tapered conical base, this glass ensures optimal aeration, allowing those rich Barolos, Syrahs, Cabernet Sauvignons, and barrel aged Chardonnays to breathe deeply and reveal their multilayered aromas. The iconic kink mid bowl acts as a “wave breaker,” orchestrating gentle oxygen exposure to let the wine unfurl like a symphony.
Standing at 24 cm tall with an 11 cm bowl, its elegant design is as functional as it is beautiful and yes, surprisingly dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand washing with soft linen to preserve its delicate artistry.
