Riedel Sommeliers Chianti classico and riesling grand wine glass. Read more
The shape of this glass brings out the characteristic Chianti bouquet of cherry and bitter almonds. On the palate, it helps the wine gain fruit and suppleness, with the acidity and tannins at a tasting in Florence on June 11, 1991, where leading winemakers of the region warmly acclaimed it.
Fresh acidity and high levels of mineral components can produce an intense wine with wonderful peach aromas. The wine also ages exceptionally well, with its colour changing slightly to give the typical hue of an aged Riesling. In search of the shape that would best match this new style, Stuart Pigott, a British wine journalist specialising in Riesling, put together a tasting of the finest 1990 vintages from Germany, France and Austria.
