Wine Decanter | Handmade Crystal Glass | Standard Bottle Capacity | 25.36 oz | 13.78 in Height | Clear Crystal

Design & Profile

Riedel Amadeo Decanter is a sculptural handmade wine decanter designed for both function and presentation. Inspired by the shape of a lyre and created as a tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Amadeo combines flowing curves, balanced proportions, and a dramatic clear crystal silhouette that turns wine service into a refined table presentation.

Made from crystal glass and individually mouth-blown by Riedel’s master glassblowers in European workshops, this decanter is built to support both young and old wines. Its wide body gives wine room to breathe, helping aromas open, tannins soften, and the character of the vintage develop before serving.

Designed to hold a standard 750mL bottle of wine, the Riedel Amadeo Decanter is ideal for red wine, aged wine, collectible bottles, dinner service, gifting, and home bar display. Its curved form allows for smooth, controlled pouring while adding a striking visual centerpiece to any wine setup.

How to Use

Pour one standard bottle of wine slowly into the Riedel Amadeo Decanter and allow it to rest before serving. Young red wines can benefit from additional air exposure, while older wines should be handled more gently to separate sediment and preserve delicate aromas.

After use, handwash carefully with warm water and let the decanter dry fully before storage. Riedel notes that bottle-cleaning beads are not recommended for this model, as they may become lodged inside the decanter’s shape.
