What reviewers say
“A standout example of Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc from Pfitscher’s high‑altitude vineyards in Montagna and Fiè allo Sciliar (500–900 m), planted on glacial chalky soils. Fermented in stainless steel with fine lees contact for added complexity.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Pfitscher Sauvignon Blanc Saxum is an Italian white from Südtirol - Alto Adige.
The calibrated figure is built from 372 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 379 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 437 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 Pfitscher Sauvignon Blanc Saxum 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 · Italie (438 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 372.
