Italesse : Wine Glass Étoilé Sparkle

A designer crystalline glass to enhance the aromatic freshness of great white wines

The glassmaker

Founded in 1979, Italesse was born from a single idea: to perfectly combine efficient technique with the most elegant design in order to showcase the world of wines and spirits. Constantly reinventing itself, the brand draws on the talent of renowned designers and on an unfailing knowledge of the world of decoration to create vessels whose beauty of glass is matched only by that of their contents. Indeed, thanks to the creative act that accompanies the entire manufacturing process, Italesse gives the word "glass" a whole new dimension, transforming a simple object into a work of art which, in turn, transforms an everyday gesture into a moment of pleasure.

The glass

The Étoilé Sparkle glass by Italesse features a beautifully balanced shape and a slightly rounded bowl that make it an essential piece of tableware. Crafted by master glassmakers with exceptional expertise, this glass offers unrivalled lightness, elegance and ease of handling. Designed by Luca Bini to reinvent the classic flute while enhancing the pleasure of tasting, this glass is intended to magnify the expression of Champagnes and sparkling wines. Indeed, this piece highlights the aromatic complexity of sparkling wines while preserving their delicacy. It can also suit white and red wines, but only if they are particularly fresh and of great elegance. Produced through a handcrafted, manual manufacturing process, each glass is a unique work.
