What reviewers say
“Colore giallo paglierino tenue. Una lacrima che già alla vista prepara ad un buon corpo del vino. Al naso di media intensità, con sentori di pompelmo, banana, mela e una nota di fiori sullo sfondo. In bocca secco, di media alcolicità (ben integrata), con un'acidità medio-alta e la conferma agrumata percepita al naso. Corpo e finale medi. Uno Chardonnay che nel suo bouquet non ampissimo presenta una bella concentrazione del frutto e una freschezza che lo rendono davvero beverino.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

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 Rivera Preludio No. 1 Chardonnay 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 619.
