Why we love it
Description
Vetrerie di Empoli describe “Gira e Rigira” as ‘an innovative tasting glass: that twist of the wrist when the wine is poured into the glass, to delicately swirl the liquid in order to analyze it, is updated by this mechanism, patented by Vetrerie di Empoli.
A small pin “camouflaged” by the crystal, or else highlighted in golden metal, runs from the top of the stem to the base of the cup, so that with a delicate motion of the thumb it is made to rotate gently, swirling the wine in the glass.
The swirling motion makes for a more accurate evaluation of the visual aspects, the olfactory notes and the components of the taste of the wine.
“Gira e Rgira” lets you decant the wine naturally, while conversing with your fellow diners, without the slightest embarrassment or feeling of awkwardness.”
The permanent ADI Design Observatory short listed “Gira e Rigira” for the 2018 ADI Design Index. The volume presents the products listed for the ADI 2020 Golden Compass award. For Vetrerie di Empoli, therefore, the selection of “Gira e Rigira” is a very prestigious result.
The current selection, unlike any other international award of its kind, was conducted following a rigorous work methodology whose criteria are based exclusively on merit, by the permanent ADI Design Observatory, which is composed of over 100 experts.’
