Wine decanter PISA 1 l, Spiegelau

Product detailed description

Who wouldn't know the Leaning Tower of Pisa? This world-famous historical monument built of white marble has been leaning sideways in the Tuscan city of Pisa for many centuries. Its "imperfection" inspires artists and attracts attention to this day. Although the tower is dangerously sloping, it is absolutely stable and functional and you don't have to be afraid to climb up to its galleries.

One of the most famous symbols of Italy also inspired the designers of the Bavarian glassworks Spiegelau when designing the Pisa decanter. Like the Italian marble front, the crystal decanter leans to the side in such a way that you worry whether it will tip over. But don't worry: it's perfectly balanced and stable. The design of the tilted pitcher is accentuated by a spectacularly slanted neck, which makes it easy to pour and pour wine without the risk of spillage. Handling the decanter is also easy and comfortable thanks to the large ear.

Provoke and leave your fellow diners wondering whether or not the decanter, like its Italian model, will topple over. Then just enjoy the wine together, which has beautifully aerated in the decanter and released all the aromas and bouquet.

The process of decanting involves the transfer of wine from one container, i.e. the original bottle, into another container, i.e. a decanter or jug. Decanting can be carried out not only for red wines but also for white wines. Despite the opinion that decanting is only suitable for mature red wines, which are typically characterised by sediment at the bottom of the bottle, it is also important for young wines - for the so-called inhalation.

Decanting puts the wine in greater contact with oxygen, which brings out its individual flavour layers and aromas and makes the wine more delicate. In the decanter, the wine will also beautifully highlight its visual characteristics and you will engage all your senses in its enjoyment. Decant the wine approximately 15 minutes before serving.

Spiegelau Glassworks offers a wide variety of carafes, jugs and decanters. Lovers of sober and clean design, experimenters looking for bold and novel pieces, and traditionalists appreciating classics, the imprint of handmade work and craftsmanship will find something to their liking.

The German brand Spiegelau , with almost 500 years of crystal tradition, offers a wide range of wine glasses, tasting glasses, special glasses for specific types of spirits or soft drink glasses for everyday use. However, it is particularly well known for its unique beer glasses. The assortment also includes a range of decanters, pitchers and decanters.

The first-class quality of Spiegelau glasses is guaranteed by a combination of production processes and technical know-how. The glasses are also extremely durable: an independent laboratory guarantees that even after 1,500 cycles in the dishwasher, they remain free of scratches and damage and do not lose their shine.

Behind the long life and resistance to breakage of the glasses lies largely the so-called Platinum Glass process. During the production process, the molten glass is passed through plated tubes to remove any impurities and irregularities. The result of this relatively expensive technology is a glass that remarkably combines elegance, functionality and durability.

All Spiegelau glasses are made from lead-free crystal with a special composition that guarantees long durability, resistance to dishwasher and breakage, and also greater brilliance than glasses made from cheaper glass variants.
