Zalto Burgundy Glass Pack of 6

Hand-blown from the finest European crystal. Offered here are six glasses. The height of the glass is 9.1 inches and it is 4.9 inches at its widest part. The volume capacity is 960 ml. The shape of the bowl was meticulously designed to bring out the best expressions of every type of grape. The lip is so thin it is as if nothing has come between you and your wine. The Burgundy glass is ideal for bold red wines as the size of the bowl lets the wine fully breathe and develop. Feather-light yet dishwasher safe. 100% lead-free. This is the largest glass in the Zalto line and can actually hold a full bottle of wine though you would never guess that because despite its size the glass itself still feels light and agile in your hand. The design was not based on being the largest just for the sake of it- as with the entire line the angles follow that of the Earth tilt angles of 24 48 and 72 degrees. The size here is to allow for your biggest most powerful and expressive wines to fully breathe and develop. For the alcohol to integrate with the fruit notes; the acid to balance the tannins and when necessary the oak. Use this glass with mighty Cabernets and Chardonnays the most powerful Nebbiolo Barbaresco Barolo and Barberas and Pinots that lean towards the fruit-bomb style. It is also fascinating to see what an older vintage more complex white wine will do here such as a cellared Gruner Veltliner Smaragd or Reserve. The height of the glass is 9.1 inches and it is 4.9 inches at its widest part. The volume capacity is 960 ml.
