Zalto Burgundy Glass
Use this glass with mighty Cabernets and Chardonnays, the most powerful Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, Barolo.
This is the largest glass in the Zalto line, and can actually hold a full bottle of wine, though you would never guess that because despite its size, the glass itself still feels light and agile in your hand. The design was not based on being the largest just for the sake of it- as with the entire line, the angles follow that of the Earth tilt angles of 24, 48 and 72 degrees.

This is the largest glass in the Zalto line, and can actually hold a full bottle of wine, though you would never guess that because despite its size, the glass itself still feels light and agile in your hand. The design was not based on being the largest just for the sake of it- as with the entire line, the angles follow that of the Earth tilt angles of 24, 48 and 72 degrees.
The size here is to allow for your biggest, most powerful and expressive wines to fully breathe and develop. For the alcohol to integrate with the fruit notes; the acid to balance the tannins (and, when necessary, the oak.)
Use this glass with mighty Cabernets and Chardonnays, the most powerful Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, Barolo and Barberas, and Pinots that lean towards the fruit-bomb style. It is also fascinating to see what an older vintage, more complex white wine will do here, such as a cellared Gruner Veltliner Smaragd or Reserve.
The height of the glass is 9.1 inches and it is 4.9 inches at its widest part. The volume capacity is 960 ml.
All Zalto glasses are lead free. We recommend using a dishwasher rather than hand washing.

The Burgundy was crafted specifically for the most powerful and expressive wines in your cellar. The innovative shape of the bowl maximizes the surface area of the wine, challenging it to breathe and develop, to fully integrate the acid into the fruit notes.
Then, as the glass is tipped and the wine flows, the more nuanced fruit and sweet notes are enhanced and a more perfectly balanced taste is delivered to the palate. Use this glass with the biggest California Cabernets and Chardonnays, the most powerful Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, Barolo and Barberas, mighty Pinots (Noir, Blanc and Gris) and Burgundy styled wines, and your ripest Gruner Veltliner or Neuburger wines. Technical perfection is the basic principle of the Zalto Glass Manufactury.
Zalto Glasses have always been produced following a tradition of using only the most highly skilled glass-blowers working with a selection of the best raw materials. The curve of the bowls are tilted at the angles of 24, 48 and 72 degrees, which are in accordance to the tilt angles of the Earth. All Zalto glasses are lead free and dishwasher safe.
