Riedel White Wine Glass Fatto A Mano Black Tie - Chardonnay - 660 ml

You open a bottle of well-conditioned Chardonnay, pour it into an average glass and... not much happens. The wine is fine, but the story it has to tell remains somewhere stuck. Recognizable? That is exactly why the Riedel Fatto A Mano Black Tie Chardonnay glass exists. This glass is not an accessory - it is an instrument. And once you know what it does with a full, oak-aged white wine, you will never drink carelessly from any glass again.

Why this glass changes everything about your Chardonnay moment

Riedel has grown with a simple but revolutionary thought: the shape of a glass determines how a wine tastes. Not a little - fundamentally. The Oaked Chardonnay glass from the Fatto A Mano Black Tie collection is proof of that. With a capacity of 660 ml, a wide opening of 108 mm, and an elegant profile of 234 mm high, this glass literally gives the wine space to breathe, unfold, and show its full character.

• Large volume, large story - 660 ml capacity ensures that the wine has enough space to breathe and fully release its layered aromas.
• Wide opening, maximum sensory stimulation - The wide bowl directs the wine to the middle of your tongue, allowing the fruitiness and creaminess of a Chardonnay to come into their own.
• No over-concentration - With rich, oak-aged white wines, there is a risk that the wine becomes too heavy on the nose. The well-thought-out design minimizes that risk.
• Hand-finished crystal glass - Made in Austria, hand-finished by real craftsmen. Each glass is a unique piece of craftsmanship that you taste and feel.
• Dishwasher safe - Yes, really. Enjoy without the hassle of washing up afterwards.
• Visually a statement - The clear crystal bowl with the striking black base makes this glass just as impressive on the table as the wine in it.

Fatto A Mano - when craftsmanship is visible

The name says it all: fatto a mano is Italian for "handmade." In Riedel's glassworks in Austria, each glass from the Black Tie line is individually hand-finished. This means that no two glasses are exactly the same - there is a human touch in every piece you hold. The clear crystal stem seamlessly transitions into a deep black crystal base, a detail that is both stylish and bold. On the table, this glass is a showpiece. In hand, it feels just right - 143 grams, not a gram too much or too little.

This is the kind of glass that catches guests' attention before they have taken a sip. And afterwards? Then it is the wine that speaks.

The science behind enjoyment

Riedel has researched for decades how glass shape influences taste perception. For a Chardonnay - especially the oak-aged variant - two things are crucial: space for the bouquet and the right place on the tongue where the wine lands. The Oaked Chardonnay glass is designed to guide the wine to the middle and sides of your tongue, where you can best taste the creaminess, ripe fruit notes, and subtle oak tones. The wide opening of 108 mm ensures that your nose enjoys before your lips touch the rim.

The result: a wine that tells more, shows more nuance, and lingers longer. Not because the wine has improved, but because you finally experience it optimally.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Serve your Chardonnay at serving temperature - between 10 and 13 degrees Celsius. In this large glass, the wine warms up slightly as you drink, meaning it reveals more of its character. That first sip is different from the third - and that is exactly the point.

Who is this glass made for?

For anyone who loves wine and wants to know what is really in it. You don't have to be a sommelier to appreciate what this glass does. You just need to be curious about flavor - about that moment when a sip is more than a sip. Whether you are opening a bottle for yourself on a Friday night, or hosting a dinner that your guests will remember: this glass elevates the experience without you having to put in any effort. The work is already in the design.

And the black base? That is not just a design choice. It is a nod to the extraordinary. A way to say: this glass takes itself seriously, but does not forget style.
