Riedel Black Tie Amadeo Decanter 4100/83

The Amadeo shape gets an extra layer of refinement in the Black Tie version, where Riedel's glassblowers take the signature silhouette and give it the handcrafted finish that defines the brand's most exclusive series.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Black Tie Amadeo Decanter 4100/83 is a hand-blown crystal glass wine decanter from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, where the striking Amadeo shape is made entirely by hand as part of the Black Tie series.

Riedel has been making glass since 1756, and the family business is now run by its 11th generation of glassmakers and designers. The Black Tie series belongs to Riedel's "Fatto a Mano" decanters, where each individual piece is shaped by a glassblower rather than a machine - a process that takes years of experience to repeat such a sculptural shape as Amadeo. If you need the right bottle for the decanter, browse our range of Red Wine.

Design & Material

The decanter is hand-blown in crystal glass and stands 35 cm tall. The sculptural Amadeo shape is already striking in Riedel's machine-blown versions, but in the Black Tie series it gains an extra dimension of craftsmanship, where small variations in the glass reveal that each piece is unique.

Use & Recommendation

The decanter works well for decanting full-bodied red wines that need air, but it works just as well as a striking serving piece for a special occasion. Because the decanter is hand-blown, we recommend washing it carefully by hand in warm water, so the fine glass shape is preserved.
