PERFECT NEUTRALITY OF STAR GLASS FOR THE BEST VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE WINE
Transmittance: indicates the quantity of light which goes through the glass. Index close to 100 indicate a high level of transparency. The overlapping curves of this chart indicate that Star Glass does not alter the colour of the wine at all (the light goes through the wine inside Star Glass as much as on pure quartz). Y AXIS: indicate the % of light that goes through the wine the proximity to 100% means that the glass is very clear and allows a lot of light to go through the wine. X AXIS: nanometers (to measure the wavelength of light)

PULLED STEM TECHNOLOGY

During this manufacturing process, the stem is pulled from the bowl making one unified piece that guarantees:

STAR GLASS
Star Glass is a new chemical composition that creates glass of unrivaled purity and transparency, yet being eco-friendly because its completely lead free. Thanks to the total absence of color shading and impurities, Star Glass achieves a level of neutrality that brings style and elegance to the table and allows the color of wines to be perceived without distraction.

XLT TREATMENT
Electra incorporates something Bormioli Rocco calls XLT Xlasting treatment an innovation created by Bormioli Rocco to protect and strengthen the wine glass stem to enhance the resistance to the most frequent forms of breakage in the hospitality industry including washing, twisting and polishing. Not only does it provide initial protection, it maintains its strength over 250 wash cycles.

Absence of micro-fissure for increased durability Harmonious and slender contours for added aesthetic appeal High resistance and flexibility

LASER CUTTING
The special cutting process and rim finish ensure the products have particularly even, linear and fine edge which enhance perceived quality and accentuated taste.

ambitiously advanced, crafted to last

In addition to the durability and outstanding performance of Star Glass, Bormioli Rocco also launches XLT Xlasting treatment with the Electra Collection. An innovation created to protect and strengthen the pulled wine glass stem, Electra is more resistant to the most frequent forms of breakage in the hospitality industry including washing, twisting and polishing. It also provides protection against scratches and chaffing. The XLT treatment is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the product and it will never wear away with time. With laser-cut thin rims, pulled stem technology, and the new XL Treatment, Electra offers a wide range of modern and sophisticated stemware for even the most discerning taste. Boasting a dazzling shine and a completely transparent finish, whether hosting a rare wine tasting or decanting a perfectly paired vintage, Roccos elegant design provides the ultimate compliment.
