Riedel Red Wine Glass Fatto A Mano Black Tie - Hermitage / Syrah - 668 ml

You pour a glass of Syrah - full, dark, with that typical peppery depth that your nose can find halfway through the bottle. And then you notice the difference. Not in the wine itself, but in the glass. The Riedel Fatto A Mano Black Tie Hermitage / Syrah wine glass does something with your wine that an ordinary glass simply cannot: it brings every layer to the surface and ensures that you taste them all.

This is not a glass you buy because it looks beautiful - although that is not disappointing either. This is the glass you buy because you really want to taste wine. Get everything out of it. Miss no aroma, let no note disappear before it reaches your nose. Hand-finished in Austria, made of high-quality crystal glass, with a black crystal foot as a stylish nod. This is Riedel at its best.

Why This Glass Transforms Your Syrah

• Specially developed for Hermitage and Syrah - The shape is not just a choice. It is precisely tuned to the fruity, peppery, and spicy aromas of medium-bodied red wines.
• Accentuated egg-shaped bowl - Brings out the soft fruit and earthy tones, just as the winemaker intended.
• Long, savory finish - The bowl directs the wine to your tongue so that the finish lasts longer and tastes richer.
• Silky structure felt in every sip - The velvety texture of a good Syrah is fully realized in this glass.
• Hand-finished - No factory glass, but craftsmanship. Each glass is individually finished by Austrian artisans.
• Stylish design with black foot - The clear crystal stem and black crystal foot make this glass just as striking on the table as in hand.

Handmade Craftsmanship You Can Taste

Riedel has been making glassware for over 265 years, and with the Fatto A Mano line, the brand returns to its roots: craftsmanship. Each glass from this collection is individually finished by skilled glassblowers in Austria - a craft that cannot be automated. The result is a glass with an exceptionally thin wall and a balance that you feel immediately when you pick it up. Light in hand, impressive in use.

The crystal glass has a clear translucency that beautifully showcases the deep ruby red color of a Hermitage or Syrah. And that black crystal foot? It is not only beautiful - it also gives the glass extra stability on the table. Style and function in perfect balance, as it should be with Riedel.

The Science Behind the Shape

Riedel believes - and has proven through decades of research and tastings - that the shape of a glass directly influences how wine tastes. The egg-shaped bowl of the Hermitage glass is specifically designed to tame the tannins of medium-bodied red wines and bring out the fruit. The opening is just wide enough to let the aromas flow freely, but narrow enough to concentrate them at your nose. Every millimeter counts.

Forget the idea that all wine glasses are the same. Tasting a Syrah from this glass and then from a standard glass? That is not a subtle difference - that is a different wine. The firm tannins become softer, the peppery notes sharper, the finish longer and fuller. Your wine gives more because the glass asks for more.

On the Table: A Statement That Speaks for Itself

The Fatto A Mano Black Tie glass is built for moments. For that bottle you have been saving for a year. For the dinner where you want everyone to taste what you already know. The black foot gives the glass a character that stands out without shouting - elegant, pronounced, personal. Set them on the table and you need no further explanation. The glass speaks for itself.

And for those wondering if such a glass can also go in the dishwasher: yes. Riedel has made the Fatto A Mano glass dishwasher safe, so you don’t have to spend hours cleaning after an evening of enjoyment. One tip: use a delicate program and don’t let the glasses clash. Then you will enjoy this glass for years to come.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Pour your Syrah or Hermitage at room temperature (or just slightly cooler, around 16-18 degrees) and let the glass sit for a moment after pouring. The wide bowl does its work - the aromas open up within minutes and the first sip is immediately the best. Want to impress even more? Decant your wine first. With this glass and a decanter, you get everything out of every bottle.
