Gordon Ramsay's journey into the world of wine
It wasn't until 2021 that Gordon Ramsay announced the launch of his Italian wine collection, aptly named the Gordon Ramsay Italian Collection, in partnership with Benchmark Drinks and renowned winemaker Alberto Antonini.
The collection features three wines: a red, white and rosé and is said to combine his personal passion for winemaking and superb ingredients. Believing the contents to be the best that Italy has to offer, he was quoted in The Drinks Business, saying:
"Wine-making has always fascinated me; it’s a magical process where tradition, passion, and science are blended together and captured in one stunning bottle. Italy and Italian wines have a special place in my heart, Tana and I have spent some incredibly happy times in this amazing country and many of those moments were made even better by a beautiful glass of wine. When it came to launching my own wine range, it was very important to set the same standards and quality as I expect in my restaurants."
What the reviews say about Gordon Ramsay's wine
"It is possible to pick out the characteristics of each of the four grapes used in this stunning white wine. Chardonnay brings depth and succulence, Trebbiano sports freshness and bright floral notes, Pecorino adds edge and wilder fruit notes and Vermentino, brings stern acidity, tension and control to the whole. This wine has a flavour like no other, and it ticks the gastro-box perfectly with its perfume, grace, depth and mineral-tinged finish." - Matthew Jukes on 2020 Gordon Ramsay, Vibrante Bianco
"Chef Ramsay has smashed it with his new range of unintimidating food-friendly tipples... This delicious Italian bianco blend has a bit of everything, from fresh pineapple and apricot to white blossom and a lick of citrus. Crisp, classy and beautifully balanced with a cracking personality. A deeply pleasing, lovely drinking, triumphant all-rounder." - The Sun on Gordon Ramsay, Vibrante Bianco
