Giacomo Conterno
As the world searches for the perfect wine glass, leave it to one of the world’s greatest winemakers to come up with a design that will make you forget all the others.
We are far from alone in thinking that Roberto Conterno’s Sensory Glass is the greatest wine glass yet designed.
Working with his engineer son Gabrielle, Roberto Conterno designed the Sensory Glass to engage all five senses.
The glasses are virtually weightless.
The bowl has a wide base for maximum exposure of the wine’s surface to air, funneled through a beautifully curved narrowing to a subtle widening at the rim for full expression of aromatics.
The 147-year-old firm of Schott Zwiesel hand-crafts each glass to his exacting requirements. We know of no one who has used the glass who hasn’t concluded that it does in fact show more nuance than any other wine glass made.
In fact, using the Sensory Glass for the first time is an epiphany.
Whatever your wines of choice, the Sensory Glass will elevate the experience, making every wine texturally more seductive and aromatically more intense.
‘Symphony’ Champagne Glass was conceived in July 2021, after the success of the first glass by winery Gicomo Conterno & Zwiesel Kristalglas.
Conterno wanted to create a glass capable of fully enhancing the characteristics of great sparkling wines while engagin all the senses.
The glass expresses sensuality to the eye; it is well balanced and light in the had as well as producing a clear and lasting sound.
The sinuous line of the body together with the curve at the edge and the opening of the rim amplify the aromas generating a soft and smooth effect on the palate.
