Zalto Gravitas Omega
A Sculptural Wine Experience Without Comparison
Overview
The Zalto Gravitas Omega is one of the most distinctive creations in the Zalto Denk’Art collection.
Combining the expansive bowl of the Zalto Burgundy glass with a sculptural horizontal stem, it has been designed to rest at varying angles, allowing the wine to move naturally across the bowl and continuously engage with air.
The result is a highly expressive and immersive tasting experience that brings together fine wine, exceptional craftsmanship and extraordinary design.
Hand-blown in Austria from lead-free crystal, the Gravitas Omega is as much a functional wine glass as it is a conversation piece.
Designed for Movement & Expression
Unlike conventional stemware, the Gravitas Omega rests horizontally upon its stem.
This unusual design positions the Burgundy-shaped bowl at changing angles, encouraging the wine to move gently and increasing its interaction with the glass and surrounding air. As the wine shifts, different aromatic and textural characteristics may become more apparent.
A discreet flattened section at the base of the bowl allows the glass to rest securely on the table without rolling.
The experience is dynamic, tactile and entirely distinctive.
Ideal For
The generous Burgundy-shaped bowl makes the Gravitas Omega particularly suited to expressive, complex and aromatic wines, including:
- Pinot Noir
- Nebbiolo
- Barolo
- Barbaresco
- Cru Beaujolais
- Grenache
- Syrah
- White Burgundy
- Mature Chardonnay
- Viognier
- White Rhône blends
- Mature and cellar-aged wines
Why This Glass?
The Gravitas Omega invites wine to be experienced differently.
Its sculptural form creates movement within the bowl, encouraging aeration while offering changing perspectives on aroma, texture and structure. Rather than presenting wine from a single fixed position, it allows the tasting experience to evolve continuously.
For collectors, design enthusiasts and those who enjoy approaching wine with curiosity, the Gravitas Omega offers something rare: a glass that changes not only how wine is presented, but how it is encountered.
The Zalto Difference
The finest stemware should never draw attention away from the wine. In the case of the Gravitas Omega, design becomes part of the experience while remaining entirely focused on expression.
For more than two decades, the Zalto Denk’Art collection has earned an international reputation among sommeliers, winemakers, collectors and Michelin-starred restaurants for its extraordinary craftsmanship, exceptional balance and ability to reveal the true expression of fine wine.
Every curve, proportion and angle has been carefully considered to elevate the sensory experience, creating stemware that has become a benchmark for luxury wine service around the world.
Austrian Craftsmanship
Every Zalto Gravitas Omega glass is individually mouth-blown by master glassmakers in Austria using lead-free crystal.
Its expansive bowl, exceptionally fine rim and unconventional horizontal stem require remarkable precision and control. The completed glass combines visual drama with the extraordinary lightness and tactile refinement for which Zalto is renowned.
Dishwasher safe and created for those who appreciate wine, craftsmanship and design at their most expressive.
