Every Detail Counts: The Glass Made for Amarone

There’s a new glass in the world of fine wine service, and it speaks the language of Amarone della Valpolicella.
Italian glassware brand Italesse has launched the T-Made 76 AV, a glass designed specifically for the structure, aroma, and emotion of Amarone.

This isn’t marketing talk. It’s the result of two years of research, hundreds of tastings, and a clear goal:
to create a glass that helps Amarone express itself fully — its warmth, power, and depth — while bringing out its finer, more elegant side.

The Science Behind the Shape

Amarone is no ordinary wine. It’s intense, full-bodied, and rich in alcohol — a complex balance of sweetness, tannin, and dried-fruit character.
The team at Italesse, together with expert tasters and producers from the Valpolicella region, spent 24 months testing six prototypes before arriving at the final design.

Wide base: increases oxygen contact, softening the alcohol and opening up aromas.
Curved bowl: channels the wine toward the center of the palate, balancing power and finesse.
Narrow rim: focuses the bouquet, revealing layers of cherry, spice, cocoa, and dried fig typical of Amarone.
Hand-blown crystal: light, thin, and perfectly transparent to read every shade of ruby and garnet.

The result is a glass that turns Amarone’s intensity into harmony, letting its complexity speak with clarity.

How We’re Using It at All’Amarone

At All’Amarone, we believe that how a wine is served matters as much as what’s in the bottle.
Starting this season, our guests in Venice will enjoy Amarone tastings using the new Italesse T-Made 76 AV.

Starting next year, the most important wines served by Coravin at All’Amarone will also use this glass,
chosen for its ability to balance intensity and elegance in every pour.

This glass will also soon be available for purchase through our online shop,
shop.allamarone.com,
so Amarone enthusiasts can recreate the same tasting quality at home.

We’ll offer special sets combining Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018 with the T-Made 76 AV — perfect as a refined gift or for a personal collection.

Why It Matters

Every detail — from the vineyard to the glass — influences how a wine is felt.
The collaboration between Italesse and Amarone producers shows how design and enology can meet in the most meaningful way.

Next time you taste Amarone, try it from this glass. You’ll notice how the aromas expand, how the alcohol integrates, and how the texture becomes silkier and more complete.
It’s a reminder that in wine, every small detail can create a true “wow” moment.
