Riedel Red Wine Glass Fatto A Mano Performance - Pinot Noir - Black Base - 830 ml

You open a bottle of beautiful Burgundy, pours the wine into any glass and... misses that moment. The subtle earthy tones, the fine fruit, the silky texture - all disappear behind a glass that simply isn't designed for this wine. Sounds familiar? With the Riedel Fatto A Mano Performance Pinot Noir glass, that changes forever. This is not an ordinary wine glass - this is craftsmanship in crystal, hand-finished in Austria, and designed to bring your Pinot Noir to its absolute peak.

Why This Glass Changes Everything

Riedel is proof that the shape of a glass really matters. The Performance series was developed in collaboration with sommelier experts and winemakers during intensive workshops. The result? A glass that not only looks beautiful on the table but also truly works with the wine. Every curve, every angle, every millimeter is deliberately determined. And with the handmade finish of the Fatto A Mano line, you add an extra dimension: character, precision, and a black foot that visually distinguishes the glass from everything you already have in the cupboard.

• Handmade Quality - Each glass is individually hand-finished in Austria, ensuring unparalleled precision and a subtle, unique appearance
• Perfect Balance for Pinot Noir - The tulip shape and slightly flared rim bring out the sweetness, keep the acidity balanced, and temper the alcohol content
• Striking Black Foot - The matte black foot makes this glass not only a flavor specialist but also an eye-catcher on the table
• Top Quality Crystal Glass - Fine, light, and transparent - the glass allows the color of the wine to shine without distraction
• Generous 830 ml Capacity - Enough space for the wine to breathe and fully develop its aromas
• Dishwasher Safe - Even top quality can be easily cleaned: just put it in the dishwasher, hassle-free

The Science Behind the Tulip Shape

This glass not only looks beautiful - it really works. The characteristic tulip shape of the Pinot Noir glass directs the wine while drinking precisely to the right part of your tongue. The slightly flared rim subtly opens the glass, allowing the fruity and floral aromas of a light Pinot Noir - think cherries, raspberries, violets, and a hint of earth - to reach your nose immediately as you bring the glass to your lips. Can you taste it already? That combination of sweetness and freshness, that playful balance between fruit and acidity - that is what makes a good Pinot Noir so irresistible. And this glass brings that out perfectly.

Particularly suitable for light wines from the New World - think of Pinot Noirs from New Zealand, California, or Chile - but also Burgundies from the Old World benefit greatly from the structure of this glass. Minimizing the alcohol content in the taste experience ensures that even a more complex, fuller wine arrives elegantly and balanced. This is enjoyment at its most flavorful.

Fatto A Mano: Craftsmanship You See and Feel

The name says it all: fatto a mano means "handmade". While many wine glasses are machine-produced, each glass from the Fatto A Mano Performance series is individually hand-finished by Riedel craftsmen in Austria. The result is a glass that you immediately recognize as special - the balance in your hand, the perfect wall thickness of the crystal glass, the way the light falls through it. The matte black foot is more than a design choice: it is a statement. This glass belongs on a set table where attention to detail is not seen as excessive, but as logical.

Whether you are hosting a dinner for friends, opening a special bottle for a special moment, or just want to treat yourself to a nice evening - with this glass in your hand, every moment feels like an occasion. That is the magic of true craftsmanship: it elevates the everyday without complicating it.

Riedel Performance: More Than a Beautiful Glass

The Riedel Performance series stands out immediately due to its optical impact. The optimized, cut pattern in the bowl is not merely decorative - it increases the surface area of the wine, stimulates oxidation, and thereby enhances aroma development. In short: your wine breathes better, smells better, and tastes better. And all in a glass that also looks spectacular when you place it on the table. That is Riedel philosophy in a nutshell: function and form are inextricably linked.

With a height of 250 mm, a diameter of 108 mm, and a weight of only 165 grams, this glass is also delightful to use in practice. It feels light and elegant, yet robust enough for daily use - and the dishwasher safety completes it.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Pour your Pinot Noir slightly cooler than you are used to - around 14-16 degrees Celsius. The wide bowl quickly raises the temperature, allowing you to maximize the freshness and fruity character of the wine. Let the glass also "breathe" by swirling a small amount of wine in it before pouring. Small effort, big difference!
