Kylix was born from the passion of Italian taste and style,
which inspires excellence and measure in all aspects of good living.
It is based on the passion in doing things, on the discipline in making
them, on the emotion that our products arouse in people.
Kylix aims to carry out an ethical project that can excite people and improve their well-being.
The use of Kylix products allows you to really savor the flavors and aromas of wine, beer, schnapps and spirits in general, thus promoting responsible drinking.
The new emotion of drinking is born through an experience that we want you to live with us.

Kylix products are handmade by expert craftsmen with an innovative construction technology with a raised sunburst, which develops clockwise from the bottom towards the mouth.
This unique feature allows wines, beers, grappas and spirits – through a strictly anti-clockwise rotation – to absorb air and promote the immediate release of perfumes, aromas and any carbon dioxide (CO2) that may be present. This avoids the risks of oxidation due to the prolonged exposure to the air of the product. At the same time, the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) limits the absorption of alcohol by the body.
The result is the rapid and balanced opening of taste and aroma and greater respect for the well-being of those who taste.
History
Kylix was born from an idea by Luigi Stecca who – from his long journey of research into the knowledge of Belgian master brewers – has developed the art of conscious drinking, to combine pleasure with physical well-being and sensitivity in tasting.
Starting in 1985, he learned from his teachers the importance of techniques capable of managing excess CO2 in alcoholic beverages, to oxygenate them, enhancing the organoleptic properties.
Building on these experiences, at first he further perfected the “Belgian technique” for the elimination of CO2 in beer and, subsequently, he developed the idea of the rays in relief inside the glasses.
This solution – now present in all Kylix products – allows to obtain results more easily and immediately than those of traditional pouring techniques.
For his merits, Luigi Stecca was awarded the title of Ambassador of the Confréire des Sossons d’Orvaulx (www.sossonsdorvaulx.be)
The effects of Kylix technology have been validated by countless experiences, carried out in collaboration with several Italian laboratories.
The tests conducted on wines and beers have confirmed that the use of this technology allows the significant reduction of the CO2 present in the products (reduction of up to 66% of the initial value has been recorded).
Furthermore, tests conducted on different contexts and occasions on groups of people have shown that those who use Kylix products to taste wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages – under the same conditions of intake – have a significantly lower measured alcohol content.
Proper use of Kylix products reduces blood alcohol levels by around 40%.
For its contribution in favor of responsible drinking and against alcohol abuse, the technology adopted by has also been appreciated by the C.N.R., as an expression of a “significant effort towards a new way of drinking […] respectful not only for the drinker […] but also for society“.
KYLIX: THE NAME
kylix (κύλιξ) is a ceramic wine cup, used in ancient Greece, from at least the sixth century BC.
It was a libation cup and a symposium, used for drinking and for the game of kòttabos, which traditionally closed the banquets.
Its traditional enlarged and shallow shape would seem to suggest that the intention of the craftsmen who made it was – among other things – to allow the rapid oxygenation of the wine that was poured into it: exactly the purpose that today characterizes Kylix products.
Lia Del Corno (At the table with Homer, Pills BUR, digital edition 2013) gives us a funny image of the kylix:
Antifane, in a passage from the Mistide (fr. 161 Kassel-Austin), tells of an old drunkard who weaves the praises of a great kylix and expresses her contempt for the oxybaphon as very small.
Here is how the woman expressed herself:
I will listen to you in this:
for the gods, I would say that it has an attractive shape
this cup (kylix) and lives up to the splendor
of the party. Where we were just a little while ago,
it was drunk in clay bowls (oxybaphia).
My child, may the gods grant
All the good to this artist who did you,
so harmonious and simple you are.
Anima” – Glass for wines with great structure
We thought of a glass respectful of the sensitivity and attention that great wines demand, capable of transforming each sip into a celebration.
The transparent blown glass tumbler contains the characteristic sunburst of technology. With movement, the spirit of the wine is gently released, while delicate musical notes resonate which vary with the intensity of the rotation and with the type of wine.
This glass has been conceived and designed for large-bodied wines, but can be used with any other type of wine, as long as it is of good quality.
We also recommend it for aperitifs and wine-based cocktails.
“Essenza” – Glass for spirits, spirits (and coffee!)
An ancient saying of the alchemists says that the sweet can only be born from bitterness. This elegant glass, with an intimate and unmistakable shape, harmonizes the sweet and the bitter, enhancing the special pleasure of tasting bitters and digestives.
It is also excellent with grappas and surprising with coffee!
The glass, filled for no more than a third of its capacity, allows – in extremely short times – correct and balanced oxygenation, which surprisingly accentuates the delicacy and intensity of aromas and perfumes.
The movement inside the glass also resonates delicate musical notes that vary with the intensity of the rotation and with the characteristics of the product contained.

Kylix products are handcrafted in hand-blown borosilicate glass.
They can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with detergent or with the support of small lead pellets supplied by us (the pellets must be swirled inside the glass or decanter and allow you to effectively clean the sunburst that characterizes the Kylix, allowing you to easily reach the less accessible parts. After use, the shot must be rinsed and drained in a filter).
To dry Kylix we recommend the use of a couple of linen cloths, washed without fabric softener, taking care not to touch the product with your hands to avoid the deposit of fatty substances. To take full advantage of the characteristics of Kylix products, it is recommended to always use them perfectly clean and sanitized.
