The guide about the various types of glasses to avoid mistakes in the combination
To appreciate all its taste and potential each wine requires a specific glass. Are you wondering why? Because each wine has its characteristics that need the right glass to be valued and enhanced.
For example, white and red wine need different glasses because the body and aromas differ greatly from each other.
In the enological world, there are various forms of glasses, but the most common and most used for tasting wines are: the Flûte, the Ballon, and the Tulip shapes.
The FLÛTE is the classic glass that is used to drink a generic sparkling wine. It has a long-limbed shape with a thin stem and a narrow mouth that limits the oxygenation of the wine to the air.
The BALLON glass is suitable for tasting full-bodied and structured red wines. It’s medium height with a wide belly and an edge that allows the oxygenation of the wine and the concentration of the perfume.
To taste white wines, particularly Prosecco sparkling wine, we recommend using the TULIPANO glass. It has been designed specifically for this type of wine because it allows expressing all the aromatic potential. This glass also allows you to savor the sugar residues and brings the aroma directly to the nose thanks to its elongated egg shape trunk towards the opening.
