Zalto Glass

Zalto. A little Veneto in the Waldviertel.

There is an eventful history behind the Zalto brand. Once upon a time, Veneto - Murano is still known to every glass lover today - and Bohemia were the strongholds of glassblowing art. Six generations ago, the glass dynasty of the Venetian Zalto family founded a glassworks in the northernmost part of Austria, the Waldviertel on the Bohemian border, and produced artistic, mouth-blown glass. It was not until 2006 that the old tradition was revived.

A priest also lives in the Waldviertel. They call him the wine priest Denk. Hans Denk recognized almost every wine that was served to him like no other. So the new founders Josef Karner and Martin Hinterleitner brought the wine priest on board and developed the lightest, thinnest and most elegant wine glasses in countless tastings.'I called them Art's. In no time at all, these mouth-blown exquisite wine glasses became the favourite of most sommeliers and wine critics.

The shape is based on natural angles of earth inclination and curvature, 24, 48 and 72 degrees, which the ancient Romans used for storage containers. Food stayed fresh longer, drinks tasted better, according to tradition. In fact, Zalto Denk'Art glasses the aromas very accurately to the Geltung. Both in fragrance and taste on the palate. "The wine is the hero" says Josef Karner with a smile. Zalto glasses are now on the tables of top restaurants in Vienna, London, Paris and Tokyo and among the world's most prominent wine critics.
