In homage to the 50th anniversary of the SOMMELIERS wine glass series, Riedel is reintroducing the SUPERLEGGERO collection, thereby setting a new standard. For me as a sommelier, choosing the right glass for the selected wine is also a question of poetry and symbiosis. There is not much to interpret here either, a wine can present its character in many glasses. After several thousand and one tastings, I can no longer present a fine wine in a Roman glass. There are already sensory differences in how tartaric acid or malic acid can present itself on the tongue and offer a fine wine a big stage or whether a wine is rather stocky and wild from start to finish. With the SUPERLEGGERO series I find a physical lightness and sensory precision, with a focus on a varietal-specific wine. My current best recommendation for a wine glass. (Somm Stephan Thum).
