Taste like a master
Founded in 1979 from Claudio Barducci’s pioneering vision, this company embodies the art and science of glass, transforming each glass and goblet into a unique sensory experience. Specializing in professional products for wine, champagne, and spirits, it combines refined design with technical precision, becoming a benchmark for prestigious wineries, luxury hotels, exclusive resorts, and Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide, also thanks to the incredible elegance of glasses, decanters, and ice buckets and R&D aimed at maximizing wines’ organoleptic and aromatic qualities.
Decades of master glassmakers’ experience, in-depth analysis of materials, volumes, absolute transparency, numerous patents make Italesse the king of wine tasting for both still and sparkling wines.
All this has ensured a global presence spanning over 80 countries, from Italy to France, from Spain to Middle and Far Eastern markets, which the company covers with millions of glasses per year, exporting and reaffirming made in Italy as a symbol of excellence and passion.
As the undisputed leader in the ‘glassware wine oriented’ sector, it has conquered the palate and imagination of oenologists and sommeliers, going further with Senses, a project aimed at transforming tasting into an emotional journey where each sip tells a story. Starting from the nuances that the wine’s primary elements—currants, blackberries, pomegranate, spices—release in the abundant volumes of the Italesse glass, a new tasting culture has been created based on the sensory glass, enhancing each wine according to its unique characteristics.
But it’s not just a matter of aesthetics and performance: the company stands out for its commitment to ethics and sustainability, values that earned it the prestigious silver medal EcoVadis in 2019. A legacy of innovation, elegance, and responsibility that continues to shape the future of the wine world, one glass at a time.
