In the dual wine review Review: Banfi 2021 La Pettegola Vermentino and 2018 Brunello di Montalcino published by Drinkhacker on January 18, 2025, veteran wine journalist Christopher Null evaluates two distinctive expressions from Banfi’s Tuscan portfolio. Null awards the 2021 La Pettegola Vermentino Maremma IGT an impressive A- rating, praising its surprisingly fruity and creamy character with notes of lemon curd, vanilla, and marshmallow that evolve into juicier lemon and gooseberry flavors, while highlighting the wine’s versatility, lingering white floral finish, and exceptional value at $19. The review also examines Banfi’s 2018 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, earning a B rating for its soft, approachable style featuring gentle plum and spiced cherry notes with an easygoing finish, positioning it as an accessible weekday pairing option. Null emphasizes that both Banfi wines offer the advantage of wide availability, making these quality Tuscan selections accessible to wine enthusiasts across the country.
