Flavour is more than taste. It is the work of all our senses, carrying us through memory, imagination and time.

From wine to form
How the shape tells the story of the wine Every decision of form, glaze and texture answers a specific note in the wine — grounded in crossmodal correspondence research.

The full reading
Pearly pink colour → a nacreous rose glaze
A nacreous rose glaze catches the light like the wine's pearly pink colour, the first thing the eye meets.
Strawberry, raspberry and softness → a rounded lower geometry
The rounded lower form carries the wine's soft red fruit — wild strawberry and raspberry — and its gentle, creamy softness.
A creamy palate → a smooth, glossy surface
A smooth, glossy surface echoes the creamy nuance running through the wine's palate.
Delicacy → a slender vertical proportion
The slender, upright proportion reads the wine's delicacy and floral elegance, light rather than weighty.
Fresh acidity and finish → a faceted upper form with cool reflections
As the body rises it facets and cools, its bright reflections following the wine towards a fresh, crisp, cool finish.
Congruence check
The rounded lower form and glossy nacreous surface carry the wine's soft red fruit and creaminess, while the slender body facets as it rises and cools, following the wine towards its fresh, acidic finish.

The ritual
The wine, met with the senses awake
A Calassi vessel works on the moment before the wine — the anticipation. Form, colour and texture wake the senses before the first pour, and the act of serving becomes part of how the wine is met. Poured into the glass, the wine arrives to senses already prepared. The cooling system holds an ideal temperature through the whole ritual, from opening to the last glass.
The system · three ways
The vessel, the cooler, or the whole system The vessel stands on its own. The cooler is a dedicated companion, available separately.
Designed to hold the wine at an ideal serving temperature throughout the ritual. The double-walled porcelain body holds cooling agents that regulate heat exchange and keep the temperature for up to two hours.
The base opens easily so the agents recharge in an ordinary refrigerator, ready for the next bottle. Developed as a dedicated companion to the vessel, it brings temperature control into the serving system while leaving the vessel itself unchanged.
