From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
With an intense straw yellow color, the wine is characterized by complex hints of exotic fruit, accompanied by light vanilla and finely toasted notes. On the palate it is rich, dense and with a sweet fruitiness, perfectly balanced by a juicy sapidity.
From Bolgheri in Italy, Ornellaia Toscana Bianco is a white. At $339 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $120-and-up band. It blends Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc.
383 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 387 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 3,193 other whites from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Ornellaia Toscana Bianco 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 383.
