Allegro 48-Ounce Carafe

The exquisite 48-ounce wine carafe from Luigi Bormioli's Allegro line of drinkware is a seamlessly elegant choice for pouring a smooth glass of Zinfandel. Crafted in Parma, Italy, the Allegro carafe aims to embody the lively and cheerful qualities of its musical namesake through its brilliant appearance and remarkable durability.

While the carafe's versatility allows it to accommodate chilled white wines, its true prowess lies in expediting the oxidation process for red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignons, ensuring they reach their optimal drinking point more quickly. The carafe's sleek body gradually narrows from the base, forming a slight neck before opening into a slanted brim capped by a discrete spout, creating a visually striking and functional design.

The minimalist design features a single artistic flourish – an oval-shaped hole in the carafe's body that serves as a handle, providing both pouring ease and a touch of style. Composed of the finest sands and raw materials, the carafe is crafted using Luigi Bormioli's innovative SON.Hyx glass, a lead-free, crystalline material that rivals the finest crystal in terms of clarity, sonority, and transparency.

SON.Hyx's technical advancements extend beyond just visual appeal, as the glass is remarkably resilient to chips and cracks, from the carafe's base to its spout. Dishwasher-safe and stain-resistant, the Allegro carafe maintains its original sparkle for over 400 wash cycles, backed by a 25-year guarantee against discoloration and any chips to the rim or base under normal usage conditions.

To complement the carafe, Luigi Bormioli offers a variety of Allegro drinkware sets, allowing users to create a cohesive and elegant serving experience. Measuring 6-4/5 by 4-2/5 inches and standing 12-1/2 inches high, the carafe weighs 3 pounds upon shipping, exuding a sense of quality and craftsmanship.

In summary, the Allegro wine carafe from Luigi Bormioli seamlessly blends form and function, effortlessly elevating the wine-drinking experience with its timeless design, exceptional durability, and unparalleled clarity. Whether serving chilled whites or allowing reds to reach their optimum condition, this Italian-made masterpiece is a must-have addition to any discerning wine enthusiast's collection.
