ZALTO DENK'ART UNIVERSAL GLASS

For red and white wines. This glass is all about elegance and finesse, created from a single piece of mouth-blown glass from the lip of the bowl to the base of the stem. It has been hailed by wine lovers as the perfect Riesling glass, but is also particularly fine for Chardonnay and Gruner Veltliner as well as Chianti and roses.

Technical perfection is the basic principle of the Zalto Denk'Art glasses, and they 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. Originally designed by Father Hans Denk, the famous Austrian "Wine Priest" who was inspired by the tilt angles of the Earth which influenced the design of the curve of the bowls.

All Zalto glasses are lead free and dishwasher safe.

Zalto glassware hails from a tiny village in Austria close to the Czech border, and for generations were blown by artisans whose ancestral lines go back to the famous glass blowers of Venice.
The original design came from the mind of Father Hans Denk over 20 years ago, and it was the first to combine unique angles with hand-blown craftsmanship, ultimately revolutionizing what a wine glass could be. Known as the Austrian "wine priest" (he was in fact a priest), Father Denk was inspired by the tilt of the Earth, and how using the Earth's angles in his design influenced the presentation of the wine. Famous for his incredible palate, Father Denk was relentless as he stretched the limits of form meeting function to create glass perfection. In the decades since, that pursuit has never ceased, with each style being fine tuned further, and where warranted, additional styles being added to the line, still inspired by his original groundbreaking design.
