Beautifully Delicate Yet Highly Durable Wine Glasses, Perfect for Everyday Use
Italesse is a designer tableware brand founded in 1979 in Trieste, Northern Italy, by Claudio Parducci.
The brand, known for its popular flute glasses like the "Privé," favored by champagne houses worldwide, and its stemware, has released new additions to its Masterclass Collection.
The Masterclass collection is designed for wine professionals and enthusiasts alike, balancing the seemingly opposing concepts of "function and beauty" and "service and tasting (experience)." Three new models are now available.
Each glass features a bowl with an enlarged maximum diameter that tapers sharply upwards to the rim, creating an ideal form for tasting. Laser-cut technology ensures a durable rim resistant to chipping.
The long, seemingly delicate stem, measuring 6mm wide, is also highly durable. The seamless, curved, single-piece construction enhances the glass's aesthetic beauty.
The "Masterclass 48" is ideal for fresh white and rosé wines, effectively highlighting the first and second aromatic notes.
The "Masterclass 70" is perfect for vintage champagne, younger red wines, and sherry, while the "Masterclass 90" is suited for red wines like Pinot Noir and Burgundy.
The Masterclass Collection is a true embodiment of Italesse's identity. Choose the perfect glass for your favorite wine.
