The Pleasure of Wine Meets Design - Milano Wine Week 2025
Paola C. Glasses and Decanters
Wine is more than a beverage: it is a ritual that engages the senses and becomes a shared experience. At the Milano Wine Week 2025, this moment is celebrated through events and tastings that combine winemaking and design. Choosing the right glass also helps make every sip memorable.
On Design Italy, you can explore the collection of glasses, carafes, and decanters by Paola C., where aesthetics and functionality come together to enhance every wine with style.
The Wine Experience: Why the Glass Matters
Not all glasses are created equal. Each shape and material influences the aroma, taste, and even the visual perception of wine.
| Feature | Why it Matters | Impact on the Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Bowl / Glass Shape | Directs aromas toward the nose | Allows you to perceive delicate notes |
| Height, Volume, Opening | Provides space for oxygenation and bouquet development | Complex wines express their full range of aromas |
| Glass Thickness / Weight | Offers visual lightness and elegant feel | Flavors and aromas are perceived more purely |
| Crystal Clarity / Transparency | Maximizes optical lightness | Color and brilliance remain vibrant |
| Function of Decanter / Carafe | Aerates, separates sediment, enhances young or aged wines | The wine “breathes” and opens up more fully |
With the Paola C. line, each piece is designed to merge aesthetics and functionality: a design that complements the wine, allowing it to fully express its character.
