Know before you buy
The signature optic impact is more than a design choice; it increases the inner surface area of the glass. This allows the wine to breathe more effectively, which helps open up complex aromatics and enhances the overall sensory experience.
While specifically engineered for Riesling, the bowl shape is ideal for any fruit-forward white wine. It is particularly effective at balancing high acidity and residual sugar, making it a great choice for wines like Gruner Veltliner or Chenin Blanc.
Yes, these glasses are dishwasher safe. Despite the delicate handmade construction and the colored stem, they are designed to withstand standard dishwasher cycles, though hand washing is always recommended to preserve the crystal's clarity over time.
The Fatto A Mano series combines machine-blown bowls with a handcrafted, colored crystal stem. This process results in a unique, artisanal piece that offers the precision of Riedel's performance bowls with a distinct, decorative aesthetic.
This glass has a generous capacity of 21.0 ounces (623.0ccm). This size provides ample room for the wine to aerate properly, which is essential for releasing the nuanced aromatics of fine white wines.
