ABOUT ITALESSE

Founded in 1979 by Claudio Barducci, Italesse immediately attracted the attention of the most renowned producers of wine, champagne, and spirits for its ability to offer professional products that are able to combine form and function, design and technical efficiency.

In a short time, the company began to grow and expand also due to the increasing demand of its products from hotels, resorts and Michelin-starred restaurants that placed Italesse in the professional world. Italesse quickly became a leader in the wine glassware market, confirming once again the company as a model for the most important and exclusive producers in the world.

Lately, Italesse further expanded its professional savoir-faire related to the wine world with the new Senses project, which aims at combining emotions and technical excellence in the tasting experience. 

Every action Italesse takes, from the creative phase to the sale of its products, is guided by a series of choices, values and objectives including design; technical efficiency; attention to detail; quality of materials; the search for emotions in the sensory perception of products; and ethics, environment and sustainability.
