From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Intense ruby red colour with violet hues. In the bouquet intense and complex, with hints of black currant, blueberry and plum jam, which matches well with the elegant notes of tobacco and licorice. In the mouth powerful, full, very soft, mellow tannins with an elegant and long finish.
Banfi Aska Bolgheri is a red from Bolgheri, Italy. It is made from Cabernet Franc. At $31.99 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $30–60 band.
2,480 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 2,537 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 946 other reds from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Banfi Aska Bolgheri lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italy (947 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,480.
