The most successful, handcrafted, functional wine glass range on the market today. Since their launch, they have quickly become the benchmark in wine glass appreciation. Developed with the aim of prioritising the perfect enjoyment of wine while allowing the glass itself to take a backseat through weightlessness.
Relentless precision combined with an appreciation for wine reduces the glass to its essentials. Combining centuries-old craftsmanship with a modern, detailed aesthetic plus a featherweight feel with impressive functionality. This now timeless wine glass series, conceived by Hans Denk, creates a worthy memorial to a recognised wine expert. Searching for truth in wine.
As with only a few other products, the production of a Zalto glass is rooted in four primal elements and a tradition that is more than 2000 years old. EARTH, in the form of quartz sand is turned into glass by the FIRE of the furnace. AIR from the traditional glassmaker’s pipes gives the glass its shape in combination with a wooden mould. WATER immerses itself in the pores of the wooden mould creating a layer of vapor that gives the glass its perfect surface.
Each Zalto masterpiece is exclusively handmade with equipment and techniques used since before Christ, making each unique. Only a few of the most experienced and best glassblowers can produce these fine glasses, playing the most important part in their production. In any case, the result justifies the incomparably high workload of production, combining the application of tradition with modern manufacturing excellence.
