What reviewers say
“Chianti apprezzabile. Strano perché da loro mi aspetto eccellenze. Conosciuto, per tirocinio, l'enologo e la mentalità aziendale. Penso ad una bottiglia un po' sfortunata.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Wine of intense ruby red color, to the nose it reveals elegant balsamic notes mixed with hints of flower petals, cherry liqueur, liquorice and chocolate. The taste is warm with balance between very fresh and full-bodied.

1,329 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 1,357 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 153 Italian reds.
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 Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva 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 · Italie (153 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 1,329.
