The ultimate glass for fine champagne and spumante
We love this improvement on the classic champagne glass! The stem gently brings the sides of the cup upward and in, concentrating the bouquet on vintaged champagnes and spumante. Don't forget: a quality champagne, spumante or sparkling wine is first and foremost an excellent wine, and the glass should reflect as much. A flute is fun and lends a bit of entertainment to simple chardonnay or prosecco based sparklers. But if you sometimes enjoy quality vintaged sparkling wines from Italy or France, you will be quite pleased with this glass, which will show them to their best advantage.
Wine critics and enthusiasts agree, and we at the Love of Wine Store concur: The size, the shape, the quality, of the wine glass directly affects the taste of the wine. While it is not always necessary to have a different wine glass for each varietal, there is no doubt that certain shapes and sizes best reflect the particular nuances of individual grape varieties.
Every Bottega del Vino glass is light, well balanced, a sensual pleasure to look at and to hold, yet practical. This may seem too good to be true; yet side-by-side taste testings with experts prove - Bottega del Vino has hit the mark! How do they do it? Bottega del Vino replaces lead oxide with lighter barium oxide, which is clearer, more brilliant, and much less fragile than lead crystal.
Bottega del Vino was the first company in the world to produce wineglasses using crystal made without lead. It is the loving creation of Severino Barzan, owner of the famous Bottega del Vino restaurant and wine cellar in Venice, Italy, who sought to bring the finest wine experience to his guests, yet create something more useable, affordable, and practical than other traditional leaded wineglasses.
All Love of Wine Store Bottega del Vino Crystal comes as a set of 2, with the most exquisite gift box of its kind.
Height: 8 in. Capacity: 23 oz.
