IWA Chianti Decanter Small #27300

• Single-serving capacity (14 oz / 400 ml): Sized for one generous pour or a tasting flight rather than a full bottle — useful when you want to decant just one glass without opening the whole wine to air.
• Slanted, angled opening: The asymmetric lip gives you a controlled, drip-free pour. It’s not decorative; it changes how the wine flows out of the neck.
• Mouthblown lead-free crystal from European artisans: Each piece is hand-formed, so expect slight natural variation. This is not machine-pressed glass.
• Vertical footprint (3” × 3” base): The straight-sided cylindrical body takes up the same table space as a drinking glass, unlike wide-bottomed decanters that crowd a table setting.
• Works for young wines (aeration through the open neck) and old wines (gentle, controlled pour to keep sediment in the bottle).
• Dishwasher safe — uncommon for handblown crystal.
• IWA exclusive — not available through other retailers.

Pairs Well With

How much wine does this decanter actually hold — is it enough for a full glass?

A: The small Chianti Decanter holds 14 ounces (400ml), which is roughly two standard 6-oz pours. It’s sized for individual servings, tasting flights or single-glass decanting — not a full bottle. If you need full-bottle capacity, IWA also offers a larger version of this same design.

Is this decanter dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe. Despite being mouthblown from lead-free crystal, it can go in the dishwasher without concern, which makes it practical for regular entertaining and not just special occasions.

Does the slanted opening actually make pouring easier, or is it just decorative?

A: The angled opening is functional, not just visual. It creates a natural lip that directs the stream of wine cleanly into a glass without dripping — a meaningful detail when you’re pouring at a table in front of guests. The vertical, straight-sided body also makes it easy to grip and control.

Can this decanter be used for older wines as well as younger ones?

A: Yes. For young wines, the decanting process allows the wine to open up and develop as it gets exposure to air. For older wines, pouring through the decanter separates any sediment that has formed, delivering a clearer, more brilliant pour into the glass.

Is this made from real crystal, and is it lead-free?

A: It is made from lead-free crystal, mouthblown by European artisans. Lead-free crystal delivers the clarity and light-catching brilliance of traditional crystal without the health concerns associated with leaded glass — so it looks refined on a table and is completely safe for daily use.

How compact is it — does it take up much room on a table or in a cabinet?

A: At 3 inches wide by 3 inches deep and 8½ inches tall, this decanter has a notably small footprint. The upright, vertical design keeps it from spreading across a table or crowding a shelf, which makes it well suited for smaller dining setups or for laying out multiple decanters during a tasting.
