Know before you buy
The Syrah glass features an accentuated, egg-shaped bowl designed to balance the intense fruit, pepper, and spice notes typical of medium-bodied red wines. This shape directs the wine to the center of the palate, softening the tannins and highlighting the wine's earthy characteristics.
Because each piece is individually crafted by master glassmakers, slight variations in the glass are expected. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal 'Fatto a Mano' process and do not affect the performance of the stemware.
Yes, the Riedel Fatto a Mano Syrah glass is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the clarity and integrity of the thin crystal over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are securely placed.
The colored stem is purely an aesthetic feature designed to add elegance and visual appeal to your table setting. It does not impact the aroma or flavor profile of the wine, as the bowl itself remains unadorned to maximize your sensory experience.
No, this specific model is not lead-free. The use of lead crystal is what allows for the glass to be blown into such a thin, delicate, and elegant shape while maintaining durability.
