What customers say
Customers highly praise the RIEDEL Veloce glass for significantly enhancing Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo enjoyment. The expertly designed bowl concentrates aromas, unlocking the specific nuances of these varietals. Reviewers consistently commend the glass's exquisite balance of elegance and practicality. Its remarkably lightweight feel, delicate thinness, and fine rim create a sophisticated, seamless tasting experience where the wine takes center stage.

It successfully bridges performance and refinement, making it an essential tool for serious enthusiasts seeking to deepen their appreciation of fine wines.
Know before you buy
The diamond shape is engineered to provide a larger surface area for the wine to breathe. This specific geometry helps concentrate the delicate aromas of light-bodied reds, ensuring you get the full bouquet in every sip.
Yes, these glasses are dishwasher safe. While they feature a fine, lightweight profile, they are designed to withstand standard dishwasher cycles without compromising their structural integrity.
Absolutely. While specifically optimized for Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo, the bowl shape is excellent for any light-to-medium-bodied red wine that benefits from aeration, such as Gamay or Nerello Mascalese.
The Veloce series uses advanced manufacturing technology to achieve a thinner, more refined rim and a lighter overall weight that mimics the feel of handmade crystal, while maintaining the perfect consistency of machine precision.
Each glass in the Veloce collection features the specific grape variety etched directly onto the base. This makes it easy to identify the correct glass for your wine at a glance.
