Ultima Preste Decanter #36597
Details
The Preste is the kind of decanter that earns its place on a dinner table without demanding attention. Its wide, dome-shaped base gives red wine room to open up while guests arrive, and the angled spout delivers a clean, drip-free pour every time. At just 9.5 inches tall with a compact footprint, it doesn’t crowd a set table, holds a full bottle with room to spare and goes straight into the dishwasher when the evening is done.
Best For
- Decanting a tannic Cabernet or Syrah 20 minutes before guests sit down, when you want the wine ready without fuss
- Setting on a crowded dinner table where a wide-bottomed decanter would take up too much room
- Gifting to a host who entertains often and will reach for it week after week
- Pouring cleanly at the table without drips or awkward tilting, even when the decanter is nearly full
Features
- Angled spout: The diagonal cut at the neck acts as a built-in pour channel. No separate lip or handle needed — it directs flow cleanly into a glass and reduces drips on the table.
- Deep punt: The raised dome molded into the base (visible through the glass) gives a natural grip point when the decanter is full and heavy, without the need for a handle or wide-body design.
- 33.8 oz. capacity: Comfortably holds a full 750ml bottle with enough headroom to let the wine breathe. No need to pour in stages.
- 5½" × 5½" footprint: Notably compact for a decanter. Sits upright and stable on a crowded dinner table without dominating the space the way wide-bowl or swan-neck designs can.
- Lead-free glass
- Dishwasher safe
- IWA exclusive — not available through other retailers
Pairs Well With
- Ultima wine glasses from the same collection (also available at IWA) — the matching aesthetic is visible in the product photos and the proportions work well together at the table.

FAQs
Does the Ultima Preste Decanter hold a full bottle of wine?
A: At 33.8 oz (just over 1 liter), the Preste holds a standard 750ml bottle of wine with comfortable room to spare — so you can decant the whole bottle without it reaching the neck, which allows for better aeration as the wine breathes.
What does the slanted top actually do, and does it make pouring easier?
A: The angled, slanted opening is designed to guide the wine into the glass in a controlled stream, reducing the drips and dribbles that can come from traditionally rounded decanter lips. It’s a functional detail that makes a real difference when you’re pouring at the table — especially over light-colored linens or a marble surface.
What is the deep punt inside the base for?
A: The raised punt inside the bottom of the decanter gives you a secure grip point when lifting and tilting to pour. It also creates an interesting visual effect when the decanter is filled with red wine, showing off the glass’s clarity from below. It’s both a handling aid and a design detail.
Is this decanter dishwasher safe?
A: Yes. The Preste is dishwasher safe and made from lead-free glass, so it can handle regular use without special cleaning rituals. That said, placing it in the top rack and using a gentle cycle will extend its life if you’re using it frequently.
How much table space does the Preste take up compared to a tall, sculptural decanter?
A: The Preste measures just 5.5" wide by 5.5" deep, with a compact, upright silhouette rather than the sprawling base of a traditional duck or swan decanter. At 9.5" tall, it has enough presence to read well on a table without consuming space you might need for glasses, a cheese board or other serving pieces.
Is the Ultima Preste a good hostess or housewarming gift?
A: It works well as a gift — the clean, modern shape reads as considered rather than fussy, and it’s genuinely useful for anyone who drinks red wine regularly. The lead-free glass, dishwasher-safe construction and dripless pour are the kinds of practical details that make it something the recipient will actually reach for rather than display only.

Love the decanter. The "hump" in the bottom helps aerate the wine much better than flat bottoms. It is light enough to easily pour the wine, but sturdy enough not to break easily and should last for years of use.
