![]() In contrast to the Riedel Sommeliers Rheingau glass, Zalto's white wine glass is far better for swirling and is tapered inward at the top with a similar form to the Universal and the other Denk'Art models. The smaller white wine glass from Zalto is another very good option for Mosels, whether dry or sweet. Since then, I decided to buy a couple of the Universal as my everyday, all-around glass for both white and red wines, though I mostly drink Mosel Riesling. Several years ago, I first drank from a Zalto Denk'Art glass for white wine and was struck by how light and balanced it felt in my hand and how it accentuated the taste of the Nahe Rieslings that I was sampling with Matthias Adams of von Racknitz. In the Nahe region, Tim Fröhlich of Schäfer-Fröhlich is a big fan of Zalto and uses different-sized glasses for his various wines. Over the last few years, Zalto stemware has become more and more popular among consumers and producers in Germany, including on the Mosel. The Zalto family, a glassmaking dynasty, came here from Venice over six generations ago. Zalto is based in Neunagelberg, in Lower Austria, in the most northeasternmost part of the country. (My opinion has changed a little see comments below.) The aromas come into their own and the wine appears more complex.My favorite wine glass is by far the Universal from Zalto, a part of the Denk'Art line from this small, traditional Austrian manufacturer of handmade, mouth-blown glasses. This directs the wine to the areas of the tongue that are important for perceiving the wine aromas. It ensures that the lips are pursed more when drinking than with other glasses. The thin walls of the glasses also contribute to this. Perhaps this phenomenon is the reason why wine, drunk from Denk`Art glasses, can develop optimally in the nose and on the palate. If one believes the traditions, the ancient Romans had already recognized that angles of 24°, 48°, and 72° in the manufacture of storage containers brought with them extraordinary properties: food not only stayed fresh longer in it, it also tasted much better. When designing the glass, angles were used that correspond to the angles of inclination of our earth. When developing the » Denk‘Art « collection, the Zalto designers also incorporated what they call a "cosmic phenomenon". His enormous knowledge and the unbelievable sensory skills he was given made him an exceptional expert when it came to enjoying wine. The legendary wine expert from the Waldviertel, as he was called, shaped the Austrian wine scene like no other. The extensive knowledge of the wine ambassador Hans Denk went into the development of these glasses. ![]() More on this at the end of this page.ĭenk'Art glasses from the Zalto brand are probably among the best drinking glasses out there. The name » Denk‘Art-Glas « comes from the mentor of the glass series, the wine ambassador Hans Denk from Austria. Professional decanters and different-sized carafes are also available. The collection includes various wine glasses: a white wine glass, a Bordeaux glass, a burgundy glass, a so-called universal glass, and also glasses for champagne, beer, and digestifs, as well as beakers for water and wine. This interplay makes drinking from a Zalto glass a special experience.ĭespite their graceful design, Denk'Art glasses are suitable for everyday use and dishwasher safe. Such filigree glass appeals to all the senses: it has a fascinatingly aesthetic look, feels fantastic, and sounds particularly beautiful. The characteristic feature of these glasses is their extremely thin walls. Each glass is unique, but due to the high level of skill and the long experience of the glassblowers, one glass in a series is like the other down to the last detail. This is how true masterpieces are created, such as the ✽enk'Art« series. The glasses of the manufactory from the Austrian Waldviertel are mouth-blown and hand-made using traditional techniques. For tradition and innovation in terms of drinking culture. The Zalto brand stands for glass perfection.
