Know before you buy
The Superleggero line is engineered to be the thinnest and lightest machine-made glass Riedel produces. It is designed to mimic the delicate, refined feel of handmade crystal while maintaining the consistent precision of machine manufacturing.
Yes, while the bowl shape is specifically calibrated to highlight the fruit and minerality of Sauvignon Blanc, it is also an excellent choice for dessert wines. Its design helps balance the acidity and sweetness profile common in these styles.
Yes, the glass is dishwasher safe. However, because it is exceptionally thin and lightweight, we recommend placing it carefully in the dishwasher to avoid contact with other items that could cause breakage.
Each glass in the Superleggero collection features a specific grape-varietal identification code etched onto the base. This allows you to quickly identify the intended wine style without confusion.
No, this specific model is not lead-free. The inclusion of lead in the crystal composition is what allows for the glass to be blown to such an incredibly thin and lightweight profile.
