Originally designed to showcase wines made with the Ripasso method (look for Zenato and Tommasi) from the Veneto and Friuli regions in the northeast of Italy, this glass has been named "Super Venetian".  Severino Barzan has designed this stem to showcase these powerful, complex wines, especially Valpolicella Recioto Amarone. 

 

But many just love the shape of this new stem.  And, it's perfect for the higher alcohol/super ripe wines produced in Australia and California especially big Cab's and Zinfandels.  Individually hand-crafted and mouth-blown from lead-free crystal in Verona, Italy... and dishwasher safe.
