Riedel Champagne Glass Fatto A Mano Performance - Black Base - 375 ml

Champagne is special enough - but with the right glass, you create a true experience. The Riedel Fatto A Mano Performance Champagne Glass is not just any glass. It is the result of decades of craftsmanship, refined glass design, and a deep passion for the art of tasting. Ready to feel, smell, and enjoy every bubble as the maker intended?

Forget the flute - this glass changes everything

The classic champagne flute is beautiful to look at, but falls short when it comes to aroma and taste. The narrow design limits the complex scent layers that a good champagne has. The Riedel Fatto A Mano Performance Champagne Glass approaches this differently. The egg-shaped design gives the wine room to unfold - literally and figuratively. The larger rim diameter allows the aromas to be released in a way that is simply not possible with a narrow flute.

Developed in 2018 and refined with the knowledge of generations of glassmakers, this glass is proof that form and function go hand in hand. And that black base? It is not just stylish - it is a nod to craftsmanship and character. This glass has personality.

What makes this glass so special?

• Egg-shaped design for maximum aroma development - The wider bowl allows complex aromas to fully develop and intensify, from fresh fruit to ripe toast and deeper mineral notes.
• Larger rim diameter for a better taste experience - The wide rim ensures an ideal distribution of champagne on your tongue, allowing you to consciously taste all flavor layers.
• Hand-finished crystal glass from Austria - Each glass is hand-finished by artisans, making no two glasses exactly the same. That is not a flaw - that is character.
• Striking black base - The contrasting base makes this glass a visual statement on any laid table. From an intimate dinner to a large party - this glass attracts attention.
• Dishwasher safe - Yes, really. As precious as this glass looks, it is just as practical to use. Simply put it in the dishwasher, enjoy worry-free afterwards.
• Light and elegant - Weighing only 130 grams, this glass feels effortless in hand. Drinking champagne is already a pleasure, holding this glass is just as much.

The science behind the glass

Riedel has been collaborating with winemakers, sommeliers, and tasters for generations to design glasses that optimally showcase the specific characteristics of a grape variety or wine style. The Performance series, of which this champagne glass is a part, is no exception. The design is based on extensive tasting panels and research into how the shape of a glass influences the perception of aroma and taste.

Champagne is a complex drink - with layers of brioche, citrus, flowers, fruit, and minerality. That complexity deserves a glass that embraces everything instead of constricting it. The Fatto A Mano Performance Champagne Glass does exactly that. The bubbles rise along an elegantly slender path, the aroma reaches your nose long before you bring the glass to your mouth, and the taste lands exactly where it should. Every sip is a culinary moment.

Fatto A Mano: handmade, carefully finished

"Fatto A Mano" literally means "handmade" - and you can tell. The line distinguishes itself from the regular Riedel collection through the manual finishing, resulting in a glass with a finer rim, a slightly warmer appearance, and a clear artisanal character. These are not anonymous glasses rolling off a production line. These are glasses with a story.

The black base is a design choice that gives the Fatto A Mano line its unique identity. On the table, it provides a stylish contrast to the clear crystal of the bowl - as if the glass itself knows it has something special to offer. A glass that looks as good as it drinks.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Serve champagne in this glass at a temperature between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius for the best aroma development. Served too cold, you lose the complexity; too warm, you lose the freshness and the tingling play of the bubbles. Place the champagne in the refrigerator half an hour before serving if stored at room temperature - or let it sit for ten minutes in a bucket of ice and water.

Who is this glass for?

Whether you open a glass of champagne every Friday night or celebrate a special moment with friends and family - this glass makes every moment bigger. You don’t have to be a champagne connoisseur to taste the difference. The glass does the work for you. You pour, you smell, you take a sip - and you immediately understand why this glass is different.

It is also a gift that makes an impression. For the champagne lover in your life, for a wedding gift, a birthday, or just because you want to surprise someone with something truly meaningful. A glass that says: I have thought about it, I have chosen quality.
