Riedel talks about how he came up with the idea for the Amadeo Double Magnum Rainbow: “Today we are faced with the dark side of this world, even within the circle of our own friends and through the news that we are forced to see every day. We are all called to help, and to promote all that is good in this world. This is why I feel a desire to make a statement with the Amadeo Double Magnum decanter.”
