Riedel Decanter Cornetto #6661 Confetti Red 1977/13R
A vibrant luxury handmade decanter combining the graceful Cornetto silhouette with the energetic spirit of the Confetti collection. The integrated red crystal accent gives the decanter a bold contemporary character, while its slender form provides elegant and controlled wine aeration.
The Cornetto Confetti series was inspired by pop art. Bright and vibrant, this collection features five pieces in lively colours. 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 over exposed to oxygen.
This piece features a red stripe through the design, achieved by introducing a rod of blue crystal into the molten glass before the decanter has been formed.

Features
Signature Silhouette: The Cornetto is instantly recognisable by its long, slender form, creating an elegant presentation while providing a controlled environment for wine aeration.
Confetti Inspiration: The Cornetto Confetti collection draws inspiration from the bold, colourful spirit of pop art, combining Riedel's traditional handmade craftsmanship with a more playful contemporary aesthetic.
Red Crystal Detail: The distinctive red accent is created by introducing a rod of red crystal into the molten glass before the decanter is formed. This technique creates depth and intensity within the crystal rather than simply applying colour to the surface.
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 product information recommends bottle cleaners for removing residue or stains, although the decanter should be handled gently during cleaning.
Suitable for: Young red wines requiring aeration, mature and delicate red wines requiring careful sediment separation, collectors, formal wine service and decorative table presentation.
