What type of Red Wine Glass is best for Chianti?

I’m a Chianti fan. Is a burgundy or bordeaux red wine glass good for Chianti? How about for Shiraz? Thanks!
OH and I forgot to add, which glass is good for Bardolini?

I did a lot of work with a wine company for a while and while I’m no expert, what the experts told me was that, it doesn’t matter. The main difference between red wine glasses and white wine glasses is that red wine glasses tend to be broader, meaning they and the wine in them absorb more heat from your hands than white wine glasses, which means if you swirl them around a bit, I guess, you might get a little more “nose” and, of course, usually you want white wine to stay chilled.

Beyond that, however, the only thing they really did have a preference for was very thin glass vs. cut crystal. Not sure why.

I would go with what you have.

I guess if you were to dive into the temperature thing, I think chianti is one of the few red wines that is usually served chilled.
