Hand-Blown Italian Wine Glass – T-Made 70 Excellence

Crafted in Italy from mouth-blown crystalline glass, the Italesse T-Made 70 Excellence wine glass delivers exceptional lightness, clarity, and balance. Designed for both professional tasting and refined entertaining, it enhances the structure and aromatics of elegant wines. A thoughtful choice for collectors, hosts, and discerning wine lovers. 

The T-Made 70 Excellence wine glass by Italesse represents a sophisticated intersection of Italian craftsmanship and technical precision. Part of the celebrated Leggerissimi collection—known as one of the most extensive ranges of mouth-blown stemware—this glass is crafted to elevate both the visual and sensory experience of wine.

Mouth-blown and hand-finished in Italy, the crystalline glass achieves remarkable lightness while maintaining strength and flexibility. Its perfectly balanced weight sits comfortably in hand, offering a tactile experience that feels almost effortless. The bowl features a distinctive flat base with a refined, elongated silhouette—carefully engineered through detailed study of wine’s organoleptic properties. This shape allows the wine to open gradually, enhancing aromatics while preserving structure.

Designed to transform tasting into a full sensory journey, the T-Made 70 is ideal for wines of elegance and complexity. It performs beautifully with structured red wines such as Barolo or Bordeaux, refined whites like Chardonnay, and even premium sparkling wines where aromatic expression matters.

Favored in professional hospitality environments yet equally suited for everyday use, this is glassware for the collector, the entertainer, and the thoughtful host. Unlike machine-made alternatives, each piece reflects the subtle individuality of the artisan—an authenticity that cannot be replicated.  Taste like a Master!

Founded in 1979 by Claudio Barducci, Italesse emerged from a distinctly Italian vision: to elevate glassware beyond simple utility into an essential instrument of experience. From the beginning, the brand distinguished itself by designing pieces that balance form and function—where refined aesthetics meet technical precision.

This philosophy quickly resonated with the world’s most respected wine, champagne, and spirits producers. What followed was a natural expansion into the hospitality sphere, where leading hotels, luxury resorts, and Michelin-starred restaurants adopted Italesse glassware for its performance-driven design and understated elegance.

Over the decades, Italesse has grown into a global presence, now spanning more than 80 countries and producing over three million glasses annually. Yet despite this scale, the brand remains deeply rooted in its Italian identity—where craftsmanship, innovation, and a sensitivity to the rituals of the table guide every creation.

At the heart of Italesse is a commitment to enhancing sensory experience. This is exemplified in their Senses project, an initiative dedicated to refining how aroma, flavor, and visual perception interact through expertly designed glass forms.

Equally important is the company’s dedication to responsible production. With a focus on environmental awareness and ethical practices, Italesse was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal, recognizing its ongoing efforts toward sustainability.

Today, Italesse stands as a bridge between artisan tradition and contemporary design—creating glassware that serves not only the drink, but the moment itself.
