The Intenso collection is Ideal for an elegant and distinguished table setting, a range of stemware with high sensorial perception reducing the wine flaws. The range has been developed applying scientific methods: shapes and dimensions guarantee the pleasantness of wine reducing to a minimum the wine flaws, if present. Tested by master Sommeliers, their sensory performances have been confirmed. The aromatic chamber (head space) has been developed to enhance only the specific aromas of the grape, aromas relevant to the vinification method and those due to the age of the wine. The correct oxygenation index of these stemglasses reduces the acidic flavor and that of tannins resulting in a perfect taste balance. After having swallowed the wine, the Intense Aromatic Persistence (I.A.P. = number of seconds during which the aromas persist) is very high over 11 seconds, typical of exceptional wine. Each Intenso stemglass has been developed and named on the basis of the age of wine: INTENSO 740: All red wines aged over 5 years. INTENSO 550: All red wines aged up to 5 years. INTENSO 450: All white wines aged over 3 years. INTENSO 350: All white wines aged up to 3 years. INTENSO Flute: Spumante, Prosecco and Champagne.
