The Ideal Glass for Valcamonica

The Bordeaux Glass was designed for enjoying fuller-bodied, tannic red wines.

They are taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl. The slimmer bowl directs the wine to the back of your mouth for a maximum taste. The size also allows the bouquet of the wine to develop, smooth out rough edges, play down tannins, and allow the wine to achieve balance.
