Riedel: Vinum Chianti / Zinfandel / Riesling Grand Cru (2 Glasses)
Lead crystal, machine made.
In 1993, Georg Riedel invited a distinguished panel of Chianti producers to join him for a series of workshops and tastings. Their aim was to develop the ideal glass shape to highlight all the nuances and complexity exhibited by Chianti. The resulting shape, the Riedel Chianti glass, tempers the alcohol, accentuates the rich berry and spice characteristics of Chianti, while gently interweaving the acidity, tannin and fruit to create the perfect balance of components.
Riesling is a grape variety known to produce one of the finest white wines, balancing its high acidity with residual sugar. The fresh acidity and high mineral components produce a concentrated wine with wonderful peach aromas. This wine also ages extremely well, changing slightly in color, giving the characteristic aged Riesling tone.
