What reviewers say
“Giallo ambrato e consistente, con naso ampio di frutta disidratata, fiori essiccati, noce e miele. In bocca è dolce, robusto, fresco, abbastanza sapido e persistente. Davvero un buon vino 😋”

Summary
Francesco Intorcia Heritage Marsala Riserva Superiore Oro is an Italian fortified wine from Marsala.
122 other fortified wines from Italy form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 21 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 21 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 21.
