Riedel Cornetto Single Decanter 1977/13

The name nods to the cone-shaped body that makes the Riedel Cornetto Single Decanter instantly recognisable on any table, whatever wine sits inside it.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Cornetto Single Decanter 1977/13 is a crystal glass wine decanter from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, defined by its distinctive, cone-shaped body that gave the decanter its name.

Riedel has been making glass since 1756, and the family business is now run by its 11th generation of glassmakers and designers. The Cornetto shape is one of the more unconventional decanter designs in Riedel's range, where the narrow base and wider body create a visual effect that departs markedly from a classic, round decanter.

Design & Material

The decanter is made from clear crystal glass and stands 32.5 cm tall. The cone-shaped body gives the decanter a striking, sculptural look, while the shape also gives the wine a good surface to breathe against.

Use & Recommendation

The decanter suits decanting a full-bodied red wine that needs air, but it works just as well as a striking, standalone serving piece on the table. Pour the wine into the decanter well ahead of serving and let the cone-shaped body draw attention while the wine breathes.
