Hand-Blown Crystal Wine Decanter/Aerator, Each

Product Details

First used in ancient times to pour precious nectars and ambrosias, the centellino (or ciantello or even centello) took the form of a ladle and was used in medieval refreshment houses to pour properly aerated servings of wine, much to the traveler's delight. With the coming of glass and the storage of wine in flasks and bottles, skilled artisans designed a mouth-blown glass Centellino, such as the Centellino by FII presented here. Modern Centellinos maintain the quality and identity of the wine in ways a traditional decanter cannot, including the preservation of the sensory properties of the wine, which are further heightened during pouring. The Centellino decants, oxidizes and provides the perfect quantity of wine for the discriminating taste and the professional palate.

This hand-blown Murano Italian crystal aerator oxidizes and enriches wine quickly and elegantly, allowing you to pour a perfectly aerated 4 ounce serving. Use the Centellino at home or when dining in any fine restaurant; it is a great conversation piece while adding style and class to your wine service. The Centellino makes a wonderful gift for any wine aficionados and is packaged in an elegant gift box.
