What reviewers say
“87 pts one of the best VS I have had and the appassimento is all over the second stage palate and finish delivering a superior Superiore (couldn't resist) for the money. The nose is round, full with good warmth, delivering plenty of red refined fruit and some spice.”
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.
