The new wine collection was developed in partnership with Benchmark Drinks and winemaker Alberto Antonini. The collection will consist of a red, white, and rosé and will be made available exclusively at the British supermarket chain Tesco or on winedelivered.co.uk. According to a recent press release, Ramsay and Antonini made the decision to combine the regions of Tuscany and Abruzzo to achieve a unique flavor and style. “Gordon and Alberto Antonini are a match made in heaven; they each strive to create top quality products in their own fields and together they’ve blended a beautiful collection of wines. We’re delighted to have partnered with them," said Paul Schaafsma, the Managing Director of Benchmark Drinks.
