The Amadeo Decanter is RIEDEL's sculptural tribute to composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, inspired by the elegant form of a lyre. It is mouth blown in clear crystal by master glassblowers in RIEDEL's European workshops, and each piece is unique. The form is crafted to hold a standard 750 ml bottle, giving the wine room to aerate and develop.
The maker designs it for both young and old wines, with flowing lines and balanced proportions intended to make pouring smooth and controlled. It is a decanter meant to be seen: the silhouette turns the act of decanting into a moment of presence at the table.
Care is specific. The decanter is handwash only, and RIEDEL notes that bottle-cleaner beads should not be used because they can become lodged in the shape. The manufacturer lists the clear crystal Amadeo at USD 650.00 at riedel.com.
