Riedel Fatto A Mano Glass

No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to its handcrafted nature and delicate design, we recommend hand washing with warm water and a gentle detergent to maintain its clarity and integrity.

The black stem is a signature design element of the Fatto A Mano collection, intended to provide a striking, sophisticated visual contrast to the clear bowl. It is purely aesthetic and does not affect the wine's flavor profile.

Yes, this glass contains lead, which is standard for high-end, hand-blown crystal to achieve superior clarity and brilliance. If you prefer lead-free options, you may want to explore other Riedel collections.

The bowl is specifically shaped to provide a large surface area, which allows the wine to breathe and soften the tannins typical of Cabernet and Merlot. This design directs the wine to the center of the palate, balancing the fruit and acidity for a smoother finish.

While it is crafted to be break-resistant, it is a fine, hand-blown piece intended for formal dining and special occasions rather than daily, heavy-duty use. Handle with care during washing and storage to ensure it lasts.

No, the stem material does not impact the temperature of the wine. It is designed to provide a comfortable grip while keeping your hand away from the bowl, which helps prevent the wine from warming up too quickly.
