Riedel Set of 2 Vinum Extreme Crystal Pinot/Nebbiolo Wine Glasses

To be fully enjoyed, wine needs to breathe, and when poured into a glass, should reach the widest part of the glass, usually about half full. This set of glasses was designed for enjoying vintages of Pinot and Nebbiolo - a less common wine, made from grapes grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, good with aged cheeses and baked salmon. Pinot wines commonly match well with seafood. These glasses from Riedel are part of the Vinum Extreme collection, machine-blown, lead-crystal glasses whose forms are fundamentally different from all other glasses on the market. Named for their extreme contours, these glasses have diamond-shaped bowls that angle out dramatically before narrowing at the top, thus creating exceptionally wide evaporation surfaces that intensify bouquet and enhance silkiness in the mouth. Hand wash for lasting results.
