What reviewers say
“Muito bom este vinho tinto Italiano. Um Barbera com sabor leve e suave, lembra muito os Pinots do novo mundo. Um vinho muito fácil de degustar com boa qualidade e apesar de leve tem bom corpo. Almoço no Giardino. 09/07/17. Nota 3,8. Saúde !!! Very good this Italian red wine. A Barbera with a light and soft flavor, it reminds much of the Pinots of the new world.

The calibrated figure is built from 2,732 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against 946 other reds 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 Ricossa Barbera d'Asti 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 Red · Italy (947 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 2,732.
