What reviewers say
“Annata 2024 Al naso si nota subito la componente minerale, calcarea e rocciosa. In bocca al primo sorso prima di deglutire viene fuori una acidità assolutamente ben dosata e non invadente che si accompagna a silenziosi richiami a note di pera e limone.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Aromas in the higher areas cultivated. The harvest is rigorously by hand during the first half of October. Afterwards, the grapes are processed with great care and transferred to large acacia casks to commence fermentation.
From Südtirol - Alto Adige in Italy, Falkenstein Riesling is a white. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $32.99, which puts the bottle in the $30–60 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 3,193 other whites from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole. 1,281 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 1,307 reviewers with at least two ratings each 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.
- Global percentile
- Where Falkenstein Riesling 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 1,281.
