What reviewers say
“A bit more to this than a regular Pinot Grigio. There is something truly unpleasant about the oily 1/2 pint of wine-like petrol they typically serve in a ‘Spoons’ on any British High Street.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Straw yellow coloured wine with bright green shimmer. The aroma is floral and lively with hints of ripe fruit (apple, pear, peach and melon) and spices. In the mouth it is well structured and full-bodied, persistent and elegant; frank and sincere exponent of its variety, is very drinkable and pleasant.

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 Castelfeder 15 Pinot Grigio 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 White · Italy (3,194 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 482.
