What reviewers say
“Completing our trip to Toscany with a 2020 year Castello Vicchiomaggio Ripa delle More (Bank of Rasberries). Needs more than fifteen minutes to come round after two years in a barrel. Long thick tears next to each other follow breathing.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This is the most full-flavoured of Vicchiomaggio’s wines. All the grapevines are older than 20 years and are pruned according to strict requirements to guarantee a very low yield. This wine is elegant, spicy, peppery, sweet and has a notable wood taste. This is a full-flavoured, vigorous indeed delicious wine, that will ripen well over the years, becoming complex and intense.
Castello Vicchiomaggio Ripa delle More is an Italian red from Toscana. The blend is Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $31.99.
The calibrated figure is built from 556 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 565 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 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 Castello Vicchiomaggio Ripa delle More 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 556.
