Riedel Decanter Cornetto #6649 Fatto a Mano 1977/00
The Riedel Cornetto Fatto a Mano is a handmade, mouth-blown decanter with a slim, lyre-inspired shape featuring a black-white-black ornamental line created with optical blown glass. Ideal for both young and older wines, it minimizes oxygen exposure while effectively removing sediment. Each piece is unique, crafted by master glassmakers. Handwash only. Designed to hold a single bottle of wine.
The long, thin shape of the Cornetto makes it perfect for both decanting young wines and removing sediment from older wines. The slim design of this decanter means there is a smaller surface area exposed, so fragile older wines are not overexposed to oxygen.
The Fatto a Mano decanter features optical blown glass and a black-white-black ornamental line to enhance its classic lyre design. Optically blown glass originated in Venice, the home of superior glassblowing, with few outside RIEDEL still proficient in this method.
RIEDEL offer a wide range of elegant mouth-blown decanters, suitable for every lifestyle and price range. A functional and beautiful decanter is a must-have for wine lovers, and all RIEDEL decanters are made of fine crystal glass to honor quality wines with the treatment they deserve. Both old and young wines can benefit from decanting, whether to remove sediment or make them smoother and rounder.

Features
Signature Silhouette: The Cornetto Single is defined by its long, slender profile, combining elegant presentation with a functional approach to wine decanting. Its narrow shape limits the wine's exposed surface area compared with broader decanters.
Fatto A Mano Detail: The Fatto A Mano version combines optically blown crystal glass with a distinctive black-white-black ornamental line. The optical effect adds subtle texture and depth to the otherwise clear crystal, highlighting the elegant movement of the Cornetto shape.
Decanting Performance: The slender design is suitable for both young wines requiring aeration and mature wines that need careful handling and sediment separation. Its reduced surface area helps prevent delicate older wines from being excessively exposed to oxygen.
Handmade Craftsmanship: Each decanter is individually handmade from crystal, giving every piece subtle variations characteristic of traditional glassmaking.
Care Instruction
Cleaning: Handwash only.
Bottle Cleaner: Riedel's current product specification does not recommend bottle cleaners for this model. Gentle hand cleaning is therefore the preferred care method.
Suitable for: Mature red wines, delicate older vintages and young wines that benefit from controlled aeration. Particularly suitable for collectors and formal wine service where elegant presentation and careful decanting are equally important.
