GRAVNER Glass by Massimo Lunardon
- Glass capacity: 600ml
- Opening diameter: 95mm approx.
- Maximum diameter: 120mm approx.
The idea to create a wine glass in the shape of a cup occurred to me in the year 2000 during my visit to the Caucasus. While travelling in Georgia, seeking amphorae that I was to bury in my wine cellar, I happened upon a monastery in the hills of Tbilisi. The monks welcomed me with polyphonic praise of wine, which they then offered me in a simple clay cup. Savouring wine from a cup was a different experience. I now feel that it is more intimate, simpler, humbler, and more respectful of the wine than drinking from a stemmed glass. (15th, 2011 Josko Gravner)
One day, Josko Gravner was also impressed by glassware made by Massimo Lunardon in the restaurant, and he immediately visited Massimo's atelier. Massimo Lunardon perfectly understood what Josko Gravner wanted, and they reached a consensus to make a special wine glass right away. This glass is provided only to the official agent of Gravner.
The aroma and taste are as they are; wine floats gracefully in the palm.
- Beautiful Curved Line -
In the Gravner Glass, your wine relaxes in a large, round shape defined by beautiful curves, revealing its characteristics without bias, exaggeration, or deformation. Originally, this glass was specially crafted for Gravner wines but can also be used for any white, red, or rosé wine, as well as Champagne and saké.
- Stemless -
Gravner glasses have no stem, allowing the wine to be held closer to the hand. This creates a unique drinking experience, as it feels more like drinking wine from the palm. Additionally, without a stem, there is a reduced risk of breakage—addressing one of the weaknesses of traditional wine glasses. These glasses are also easy to carry, making them ideal for outdoor events or BYO (bring your own) occasions.
- Pieces of Modern Art. Hand-Blown by Massimo Lunardon -
Glass artist Massimo Lunardon produces this glass piece by piece using hand-blown techniques. It's a piece of modern art, designed for practical use. Every piece has a slightly different size and shape.
