Tasting profile
A dark, full-bodied Super Tuscan with flavors of blackberries, plums, vanilla and oak, layered with notes of dried fruit, almonds and spice. Structured and muscular yet surprisingly smooth, with ripe tannins and balanced acidity carrying it to an elegant finish.

Summary
A very intense ruby red colour. In the bouquet rich and ample where the complementary varietal characters of Cabernet and Syrah create an explosion of sensations. In the mouth full, powerful, muscular, but balanced with a great finish.

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 SummuS 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 · Italia (235 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 2,266.
