RIEDEL Manufaktur Vitis

RIEDEL Manufaktur Vitis marks a new chapter in handmade glass design – the first grape varietal-specific collection since the legendary Sommeliers series. It stands as a testament to craftsmanship, artistry, and passion for wine. Inspired by the pioneering, diamond-shaped VITIS collection of 2007, this design pays tribute to RIEDEL’s enduring principle: form follows function.

Designed by Maximilian J. Riedel

Guided by the Bauhaus principle – Form follows Function, RIEDEL Manufaktur Vitis unites form, function, and elegance within a timeless aesthetic. Its distinctive V-shaped silhouette, echoing the diamond contours of the RIEDEL Extreme series, brings a bold and modern presence to the RIEDEL Manufaktur portfolio.

Every bowl has been meticulously refined to elevate contemporary wine enjoyment – achieving perfect balance between visual lightness, sensory precision, and performance. The glass carries an elegant engraving of the recommended grape varietal on its base, a discreet detail that unites design and purpose in the RIEDEL tradition of form following function.

The Beauty of the Handmade

Each glass in this collection is individually handmade. Subtle variations in weight, delicate air bubbles, or gentle asymmetries are not flaws, but marks of authenticity — a celebration of human touch and true craftsmanship. These natural nuances have no impact on the function or performance of the glass; rather, they affirm the individuality and integrity of the handmade.

Every piece is a unique creation, bearing the unmistakable mark of the artisan’s hand, the RIEDEL Manufaktur logo, and the engraved grape varietal recommendation on its base — a quiet reminder of precision and purpose.

A Tribute to RIEDEL’s Heritage

Crafted under the RIEDEL Manufaktur line, the Vitis Collection embodies more than 270 years of glassmaking excellence and eleven generations of dedication. It continues RIEDEL’s legacy as a celebration of precision, innovation, and enduring devotion to the art of wine.

Some moments call for more than just a glass – they demand a statement. The RIEDEL Fatto a Mano Black Tie collection is that statement. A seamless blend of artisanal tradition and modern precision, this series embodies sophistication in every detail, from its feather-light silhouette to its bold, striking base.

Born from the groundbreaking RIEDEL Superleggero series, these machine-blown glasses are among the lightest and thinnest ever crafted, ensuring that nothing stands between you and the wine’s purest expression. Each glass is elevated with a hand-applied transparent stem and anchored by a solid black crystal base, adding an unmistakable sense of contrast and refinement. No two are exactly alike, making every piece as unique as the occasion it graces.

Designed for those who appreciate both flawless function and breathtaking aesthetics, RIEDEL Fatto a Mano Black Tie transforms every pour into an experience. Its name is no coincidence—this collection is made for moments that deserve nothing less than the extraordinary.
