Fatto A Mano combines the sophistication of handmade crystal glass in the style of the ancient Venetian tradition with the very latest 21st century crystal glass making technology. This new stemware collection bears the typical attributes of a Riedel product: varietal specific, thin blown, unadorned, and standing tall on slender stems.

The ancient, colorful Venetian crystal glass making tradition inspired and ignited the thought process and led the way towards the required design, where the stem and base would be made by hand and the Crystal Bowl blown by machine.

Together, with Riedel's very talented Tyrolean crystal glass makers, Riedel tried, tested and experimented until they had perfectly mastered the Venetian puzzle. They discovered how to build the multi-colored stems by hand and how to fuse, in the hot stage, the Crystal Bowl to the hand made colored stem. Fatto a Mano, meaning hand-made in Italian. Each piece features Riedel trademark, hand polished thin rim.


 

Varietal Specific Designs

"It takes a great deal of efforts for a talented wine-maker to produce a good wine. These efforts can be ruined in no time if the wine is not served properly. The quality of the glass plays a crucial role here and Riedel produces the largest range of high quality glasses, specifically fine-tuned to fit the predominant wine varietals of the planet. Riedel makes it possible to fully appreciate all the nuances of aromas and tastes from the best wines of the world." -Michel Bettane

The Riedel glass designs are based on the exceptional characteristics of each grape variety, which in turn determines the shape, size and rim diameter of the bowl. The latest machine blown technology, in conjunction with the seamless pulled stem, offers a special design feature "architecture", which creates an indent in the bottom of the bowl, reflecting the light and adding another dimension to the lively color of wine.

"I prefer to decant wines, both young and old. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines. Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging." - Georg Riedel
