Riedel Amadeo Decanter 1756/13

There is something musical about the name, and the shape lives up to it - the Riedel Amadeo Decanter has a silhouette that makes it stand out on any dinner table, whatever wine is poured into it.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Amadeo Decanter 1756/13 is a crystal glass wine decanter from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, defined by its striking, sculptural shape that departs from a classic, round decanter silhouette.

Riedel has been making glass since 1756 - a date that is no coincidence in this particular decanter's model number. The family business is now run by its 11th generation of glassmakers and designers, and the Amadeo shape is one of the decanter designs where Riedel dared to break with the traditional, simple decanter silhouette.

Design & Material

The decanter is made from clear crystal glass and stands 35 cm tall. The sculptural shape makes the decanter a centrepiece in its own right, whether it stands filled with wine or empty as a display piece in a cabinet.

Use & Recommendation

The decanter suits decanting full-bodied red wines that need air, but it works just as well as a striking serving piece at the dinner table. Pour the wine in well ahead of serving and let the sculptural shape draw attention while the wine breathes.
