Riedel Sommeliers Grappa Glass

The Riedel Sommeliers Grappa glass has a specific bowl shape and rim diameter designed to capture and concentrate the unique aromas of grappa, offering a more focused and intense aromatic experience than general-purpose spirits glasses.

While technically possible, the glass is optimized for grappa. Its design might not best present the aroma and flavor profile of other spirits. For optimal tasting of brandy or whisky, Riedel recommends their specific glasses designed for those spirits.

Yes, each glass in the Sommeliers collection is individually handmade by skilled artisans from clear crystal, which may result in slight, unique variations.

The glass has a capacity of 110ml and stands approximately 20cm tall.

Yes, the glass is dishwasher safe. However, handwashing with mild detergent and careful polishing is often recommended by collectors to preserve the crystal's clarity and prevent potential etching over time.

The narrow, tapered rim concentrates the volatile aromatics of the grappa upwards, delivering a more intense and precise olfactory experience directly to the nose.

The 20cm height is designed to keep the spirit away from the warmth of your hand, helping to maintain the optimal tasting temperature and prevent premature warming of the grappa.

This can be due to hard water residue. Polish with a microfiber cloth. For future washes, consider using a rinse aid or trying a dishwasher cleaner to remove mineral buildup.

Subtle variations are a natural characteristic of handmade crystal. If a variation significantly impacts the glass's functionality or appearance, please contact customer support.

Handmade crystal is delicate. Always hold the glass by the stem or base, not the bowl, to minimize the risk of breakage. Ensure a stable surface for placing the glass.
