What reviewers say
“Deep ruby in color with a nose of red, black and blue fruit, earthiness, balsamic notes, rich, ripe fruit sweetness, lavender. Tastes of red raspberry, cherry, red and black plums, blueberry, mulberry, black cherry. Tastes especially rich. Well balanced, 100% Primitivo, fermented 12 days in stainless steel tank, 10 months aging in oak casks. Notes of earth, oak spice, black licorice. Medium in body with a fairly lengthy finish. This is a fine meaty pizza pairing.”

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 Tommasi Masseria Surani Primitivo di Manduria 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 336.
