Product Description
Luigi Bormioli Crescendo 20-Ounce Bordeaux Wine Glasses, Set of 4: Kitchen & Dining. The Crescendo collection offers a variety of drinkware sets to complement this set. Relish a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or a rich Malbec in one of the 20-ounce Bordeaux glasses in this four-glass set from Luigi Bormioli’s Crescendo line of stemware. In music, the word “Crescendo” indicates the gradual increase of volume up to the movement’s apex; the Crescendo stemware collection follows a similar trajectory as it rises above comparable stemware with increased brilliance and strength. Made at Luigi Bormioli’s headquarters in Parma, Italy, the Bordeaux glass set best suits medium-to-dark red wines. Each tall wine goblet benefits from a wide bowl base that narrows at a minute and even pace to a thin rim to contain the wine’s aroma. Meanwhile, the wide mouth expedites the wine’s rate of oxidization and the bowl’s large size enables swirling ease.The Bordeaux stemware exemplifies the time-honored Parma practices of classic hand glassblowing techniques applied to the purest sands and natural materials available. However, Luigi Bormioli blends tradition with modern innovation in the Crescendo glassware’s construction in the company’s innovative 2007 development, the lead-free, crystalline SON.Hyx glass. SON.Hyx glass’s clarity in both sonority and transparency rivals fine crystal, even surpassing the old standard with technical advancements in chip and crack resilience, from each glass’s foot on up along its stem and bowl to its rim. Dishwasher-safe, the stemware resists stains and spots to uphold the set’s luminous translucence for over 400 wash cycles. A 25-year guarantee covers the set in the event of any such discoloration, in addition to any chips to the glasses’ rims and feet incurred during normal usage. Each Bordeaux glass stands 9-1/2 inches high with a 7-1/3-inch bowl circumference.
