Know before you buy
The bowl is designed with a wider opening to allow the wine to breathe, which helps soften the acidity and highlight the creamy, buttery textures typical of oaked Chardonnay. It directs the wine to the areas of the palate that best perceive these complex flavors.
Yes, this glass contains lead, which is used to achieve the clarity and brilliance characteristic of the Fatto a Mano collection. If you prefer lead-free options, you may want to explore Riedel’s machine-made series.
No, because each glass is individually hand-blown, there may be slight variations in the shape or the pink stem. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each piece unique.
While Riedel glasses are generally dishwasher safe, the delicate nature of the handcrafted stem makes hand washing recommended. To maintain the integrity of the glass and the vibrant pink stem, we suggest washing them gently by hand.
While it is specifically engineered for oaked Chardonnay, it works well for other full-bodied white wines that benefit from aeration. However, it may be too large for lighter, crisp whites like Pinot Grigio, which are better served in smaller, narrower glasses.
