The  history of the Centellino also known as centello or ciantello dates back to ancient times and translates to "Sip". The Latin name was " cyatulus”, diminutive of " cyatus”, taken from the Greek " kyathos” derived from the verb " kyo” which means "to pour”.

After time, the Centellino took the form of a ladle and was used in medieval refreshment houses to pour a proper serving of wine, much to the traveller’s delight.

With the coming of glass and the storing of wine in flasks and bottles, skilled artisans designed a Centellino using mouth-blown techniques. Today, the "Centellino” graces tables by pouring and oxidizing the perfect portion of wine, thereby making drinking your wine a more pleasurable experience.
