Celebrating 20 years of fine glassmaking, Zalto releases a new glass - Balance.
You wouldn’t expect anything less than precision from Zalto, which they have delivered in spades with the release of their new glass Balance. The glass perfectly crosses the boundaries and functions of the Bordeaux and Burgundy stem and is specifically designed for structured and nuanced wines, (white and red) that derive their depth and complexity from structure and cellar aging, not just fruit.
Crafted to harmonize and balance wines rich in phenolics, tannins, and oxidative elements, the Zalto Balance Glass ensures each characteristic is perfectly integrated, allowing the wine to shine without overshadowing any single element.
What makes it extraordinary:
-
Innovative Design: Striking a perfect balance between the Bordeaux and Burgundy shapes, this glass features strongly conical walls that intensify aromas and create a more integrated and balanced tasting experience.
-
Tailored for Complex Wines: Ideal for wines with structural complexity - whether from tannins, yeast contact, or oxidative aging - this glass enhances every layer, making it perfect for winemakers and enthusiasts seeking to explore more intricate flavors.
-
Mouth-Blown Craftsmanship: Like all Zalto glasses, the Zalto Balance Glass is mouth-blown and handmade, ensuring each piece is a unique work of art, designed to deliver the perfect wine experience.
