Italesse was founded in Italy in 1979 by Claudio Barducci following a twenty year background in the commercial wine world. This valuable experience enabled Italesse to take a closer look at this complex and difficult market and discover the opportunity to develop a market-leading brand. In-depth research gave birth to the first series of wine glasses, regular glasses, carafes, decanters and goblets, and in time led to a complete and exclusive range of products the embrace all aspects of wine.
