Luigi Bormioli Talismano Crystal Bordeaux Glasses
Experience the full profile of your favorite vintages with the Talismano Bordeaux collection. Designed specifically for full-bodied red wines, these glasses feature a wide, generous bowl that allows your wine to breathe, softening tannins and unlocking complex aromas. Crafted with the hallmark precision of Luigi Bormioli’s Italian artisans, these glasses turn every glass of Bordeaux into a professional tasting experience.
Why the Talismano collection defines excellence
Generic glassware often restricts the bouquet of high-end wines, muting the subtle notes that make Bordeaux unique. Talismano glasses are engineered using ultra-clear SON.hyx® glass, providing a neutral, crystal-clear canvas that showcases the wine’s color without distortion. The laser-cut, ultra-thin rims ensure a seamless transition from glass to palate, allowing the nuances of your wine to shine exactly as the winemaker intended.
Designed for the dedicated wine enthusiast
- Optimized Bordeaux Profile: The expansive bowl is expertly shaped to aerate full-bodied reds, effectively enhancing the aromatic complexity and flavor profile of every pour.
- Premium SON.hyx® Crystal: Ultra-clear, high-tech glass that is completely lead-free, offering superior brilliance, transparency, and a refined, elegant feel in the hand.
- Ultra-Thin Laser-Cut Rims: Removes any interference between the wine and your palate, ensuring a smooth, sophisticated sipping experience.
- Exceptional Durability: While delicate in appearance, the reinforced crystal construction offers high resistance to breakage, making them perfect for both special occasions and regular enjoyment.

FAQs
Q: Are these glasses suitable for the dishwasher?
A: Yes, despite their elegant, thin profile, the SON.hyx® glass is highly durable and dishwasher safe, designed to maintain its brilliant clarity over many uses.
Q: Why is the bowl so wide on this specific glass?
A: The wide bowl is intentional; it increases the surface area of the wine exposed to air, which is critical for "opening up" the complex aromas and softening the tannins characteristic of a fine Bordeaux.
