This past week Lower Falls wine featured Brunellos at their weekly tasting,* often big, flavorful reds, and one of our favorite red wine glasses is the iittala Essence red wine glass. This angular, elegantly tapered glassware collection was designed by Argentine designer Alfredo Haberli to provide a beautiful silhouette for each wine style while sharing a uniform height and base size. Taken as a whole the collection expresses harmony and balance.
This is a versatile collection, pairing effortlessly with both modern and organic styles, it's equally at home with mirrored stainless steel, as in the image below, and natural wood, as with the beautiful walnut bowl above from Massachusetts woodturner Spencer Peterman.
