Riedel Summer Drinks Set / Aperitivo
This set is built for exactly the kind of drinking that happens without ceremony but still deserves good glassware. Spritzes, champagne, light cocktails, even a simple white wine over ice, all sit comfortably in a shape that keeps things bright and structured rather than diluted or flat.
The diamond-shaped bowl gives the glass a defined geometry that lifts aromatics while keeping the drink visually open. It is a deliberate design for social drinking, where you want clarity in both flavour and presentation without overthinking the serve.
At 550ml capacity, there is enough space for ice, garnish, and mixers without crowding the drink. The flat base adds stability and control, particularly useful when serving outdoors or during longer summer gatherings.
