Designed to reveal the character of white wine

A wine glass does much more than hold wine. Its shape influences how aromas develop, how the wine reaches the palate and how every sip is perceived. This is why professional sommeliers and restaurants carefully select different glasses for different wine styles.

The MAGNIFICO 450 ml by BORMIOLI has been designed specifically for modern white wines, where freshness, elegance and aromatic complexity deserve to be fully appreciated.

SON.hyx® crystal – exceptional clarity with professional durability

This glass is made from SON.hyx® lead-free crystal, BORMIOLI's proprietary crystal developed for demanding HoReCa environments.

Compared with ordinary glass, SON.hyx® offers remarkable transparency, brilliant shine and excellent resistance to everyday professional use. Even after repeated dishwasher cycles, it maintains its clarity and brilliance, making it a trusted choice for premium restaurants, hotels and wine bars.

Why is the bowl so large?

At first glance, a 450 ml capacity may seem oversized for white wine. In reality, the larger bowl is one of the reasons why professional wine glasses perform so well.

White wine is typically served in portions of around 100–150 ml. The remaining space allows the wine to breathe as it is gently swirled, helping aromas open up and concentrate naturally toward the rim of the glass.

This creates a richer and more expressive tasting experience without altering the wine itself.

The laser-cut rim makes a noticeable difference

The ultra-thin laser-cut rim creates a smoother transition from glass to palate. Instead of drawing attention to the glass, it allows the wine's texture, balance and aromas to take centre stage.

Although subtle, this detail is highly appreciated by sommeliers, wine professionals and enthusiasts who value every aspect of the tasting experience.

Recommended for a wide range of white wines

The balanced bowl shape is particularly well suited for:

• Sauvignon Blanc;
• Chardonnay;
• Pinot Grigio;
• Riesling;
• Furmint;
• Verdejo;
• Albariño;
• Viognier;
• Elegant rosé wines.

It is also an excellent choice for professional tastings and premium water service during fine dining experiences.

Created for modern wine service

The MAGNIFICO collection is designed for premium restaurants, luxury hotels, wine bars, sommeliers and wine lovers who appreciate both performance and elegant presentation. The tall stem, generous bowl and crystal clarity combine to highlight the wine rather than the glass itself.
