Riedel Fatto A Mano Amadeo Wine Decanter

While the Amadeo is specifically designed to enhance the delicate profiles of mature wines and champagne, its shape does provide sufficient aeration for younger vintages. However, if you are looking for aggressive aeration for very young, tannic wines, you might prefer a decanter with a wider base.

Because of the narrow, curved neck, standard brushes won't work. We recommend using Riedel cleaning beads, which are small, abrasive spheres you swirl inside with a little water to gently remove sediment and wine residue without scratching the crystal.

Beyond its striking aesthetic, the optical blown glass technique creates a textured surface that increases the interior surface area of the glass. This subtle texture helps the wine interact with oxygen more effectively as it is poured and swirled.

The ornamental line is not painted; it is integrated into the glass during the mouth-blowing process. This ensures the design remains vibrant and durable, as it is fused into the structure of the decanter itself.

Yes, the Amadeo is specifically designed to accommodate champagne. Its shape allows for gentle aeration, which can help open up the complex aromas of vintage champagnes without stripping away the effervescence too quickly.
