Riedel Red Wine Glass Fatto A Mano Black Tie - Burgundy Grand Cru - 1022 ml

A good glass of wine does not start with the cork - it starts with the glass. With the Riedel Fatto A Mano Black Tie Burgundy Grand Cru wine glass, you taste every subtlety that the winemaker has put into the bottle. This is not a glass to quickly pour a Burgundy into. This is the glass for which you open your finest bottle, take your time, and truly enjoy.

Riedel is the brand that taught the world that the shape of a glass changes the taste of wine. And this example - with its dramatic black stem and handmade finish - proves that function and beauty go hand in hand. On the table, it is a showstopper. In your hand, it is an experience.

Why this glass changes everything about your wine evening

• Designed for Burgundy Grand Cru - The wide tulip shape brings out the best in delicate, fruit-driven Pinot Noir and similar light wines, just as winemaker and glass work together.
• Handmade by Riedel craftsmen - Each stem is hand-finished in Austria, ensuring a balance and finesse that you feel as soon as you pick up the glass.
• Black stem as a style statement - The Black Tie collection combines clear crystal glass with an elegant black stem. Functionally superior, visually irresistible.
• 1022 ml capacity - That sounds like a lot - and it is. That space is not for pouring more, but for allowing the wine to breathe, swirl, and release its aromas.
• Crystal clear and lightweight - At just 168 grams in hand, you feel how refined this glass is. Clear crystal glass does not distort the color of your wine.
• Dishwasher safe - Yes, really. Your premium glass can go in the dishwasher. No more excuses not to drink from the best.

The science behind the wide tulip

Claus J. Riedel - the ninth generation of the renowned wine house - was the first to understand that glass is not neutral. The shape determines how wine touches your tongue, which aromas reach your nose, and how acidity, alcohol, and fruit balance each other. The Burgundy Grand Cru glass is one of his original designs and still one of the most copied shapes in the world - but never equaled.

The wide, flared bowl captures the fresh, compact fruit flavors of light red wines and presents them at their best. The slightly flared rim directs the wine straight to the middle of your tongue, where sweetness is emphasized and acidity is balanced. At the same time, the alcohol content is muted, so what you taste is purely the essence of the wine - nothing more, nothing less.

This is not a marketing story. This is generations of craftsmanship, translated into glass.

Fatto A Mano Black Tie: craftsmanship you see and feel

The name says it all: fatto a mano - handmade. While most glasses are produced in large quantities, each glass from the Fatto A Mano collection is individually hand-finished. The distinctive black stem is applied with precision and forms a strong visual contrast with the clear transparent bowl and foot.

On a beautifully set table with a nice bottle of Chambolle-Musigny or Gevrey-Chambertin, this glass is not an accessory - it is a leading role. Guests will notice it. They will ask about it. And you can smile and tell them that this is Riedel, and that there is a real difference in how you taste wine.

Handmade also means: each glass is slightly unique. That is not a flaw. That is character.

The perfect moment for this glass

Imagine: a quiet Friday evening, a good bottle of Burgundy that you have been saving for the right moment. You pour - not halfway, because that large glass calls for space - and you gently swirl. The ruby red color glows in the clear crystal. You bring the glass to your nose and the aromas of cherry, earth, and subtle spices rise. Then that first sip. Soft, fresh, complex. Just right.

That is what this glass does. It turns a good moment into a memory.

Whether you are an experienced wine lover who consciously chooses the right glass for each grape, or someone who truly wants to enhance their wine experience - the Fatto A Mano Black Tie is an investment that rewards you every time you pick it up.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Never pour a Burgundy Grand Cru more than a third full in this glass. That large bowl is precisely for giving the wine space. Swirl gently, wait a moment - and let the wine tell its story before you taste it. Letting it breathe for an hour in the bottle or a decanter works wonders too.
