What reviewers say
“Super Soft. Unusual for a young Brunello. Overall 2016, as rated by the appellation, was a 5 of 5 star vintage. It was almost perfect vintage. Only 7 yo I was so astounded at how soft the tannins already were in this wine. I wonder how it will age? Does that matter?”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine's color is ruby red. Fine and intense, red fruit notes very marked that blend with floral notes. Very full body accompanied by large elegance tannins that favor a long finish on the palate and long aging.

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 Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino 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 2,518.
