Zafferano America Ultralight Wine Glass

The bowl shape is engineered to aerate complex, oak-aged wines properly, allowing the tannins to soften and the nuanced notes of vanilla, spice, and toast to open up. This specific geometry ensures the wine's bouquet is concentrated toward the nose rather than dissipating.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. However, because they are hand-blown and ultra-lightweight, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring they are spaced properly in the rack to prevent contact with other dishes.
