Tasting profile
A superb Recioto with abundant cherry fruit and a soft, sweet aroma that reviewers compare to the layered pleasure of espresso paired with mince pie. Rich and aromatic, it pairs beautifully with blue cheese and stands tall even alongside a flight of Amarone.

Summary
Masi Mezzanella Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Amandorlato is an Italian dessert wine from Recioto della Valpolicella. The blend is Rondinella, Molinara and Corvina.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 160 other dessert wines from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 97 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 97 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 97.
