From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The bouquet is multi-layered and elegent, with crisp-edged apricot, yellow peach, and candied citrus that meld into fresh-baked pan brioche. The palate has a vibrant acidity which lends support to a well-sculpted, empathic structure, and an energy-laden, richly-flavoured finish provides a tangy, sensory tautness.

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 Guido Berlucchi '61 Franciacorta Nature 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 Sparkling · Italien (504 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 737.
