The Ichendorf Solisti glass Merlot celebrates the smooth, velvety soul of one of the world’s most beloved wines. Designed by Marco Sironi, it interprets the full, rounded character of Merlot through an equally harmonious shape. With a 61 cl capacity, this mouthblown and handmade glass enhances the wine’s natural elegance, bringing balance to every pour. The generous bowl allows the wine to oxygenate gently, softening its structure while revealing the bouquet of red berries, plum, and subtle hints of spice. Its clean silhouette and perfect proportions make it a sophisticated choice for both everyday dining and refined tasting rituals.

Lightness, precision, and craftsmanship

Each Solisti Merlot glass is the result of Ichendorf craftsmanship. Handmade and mouthblown from borosilicate glass, it combines resilience with delicacy. Its transparency reveals every nuance of color, while the fine rim ensures an effortless, elegant tasting experience. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C recommended), it maintains its brilliance and form over time. When handwashed, the piece should be held from the bowl to protect its perfectly balanced design. This refined tumbler embodies the light touch of artisanal mastery, crafted for those who value purity and detail at the table.

Design that embraces the essence of wine

Belonging to the Ichendorf Tumblers & Glass choice, the Solisti Merlot glass stands as a dialogue between craftsmanship and enology. Marco Sironi designed it to enhance the smooth texture and aromatic complexity typical of Merlot: a wine known for its depth and approachability. The shape encourages gentle aeration, softening tannins while amplifying the fruit’s natural sweetness. Its versatility also suits medium-bodied reds and aged whites, adapting gracefully to every setting. When paired with decanters and serving pieces from the Ichendorf Bottles collection, it creates a refined harmony between functionality and aesthetic pleasure.

The Solisti collection: a tribute to Italian artistry

Part of the Solisti collection, this Merlot glass expresses Marco Sironi for Ichendorf’s vision of wine tasting as an orchestration of senses. Each piece, from the Nebbiolo to the Chardonnay goblet, is a “soloist”: distinct in character yet united by design purity. The Solisti Merlot glass captures that philosophy through balance, lightness, and timeless simplicity. Perfect for connoisseurs and design lovers alike, it transforms a simple moment into a refined experience. Whether used for an intimate dinner or displayed as part of a modern table composition, it embodies the spirit of Italian craftsmanship, where elegance is not added, but born from form itself.
