Summary
The Castell'in Villa Vin Santo is a medium dry white wine which is best sipped after dinner. The dried grapes give the wine a very special taste.
From Vin Santo del Chianti Classico in Italy, Castell'in Villa Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a dessert wine. It blends Trebbiano and Malvasia.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 160 other dessert wines from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole. Only 24 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 24 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track.
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.

- 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 24.
