i. Biography
Gabriele Gorelli came to wine through lineage and repetition: his paternal grandfather, the smallest producer of Brunello di Montalcino, gave early form to the palate and standards that would later become a profession. That foundation was then tested in formal study at the Institute of Masters of Wine, where he trained from 2015 to 2021 and turned experience into disciplined knowledge. The arc is straightforward: family production, structured study, and a working vocabulary that now travels well beyond Montalcino.
The Path
Brookshaw&Gorelli, which Gabriele Gorelli co-founded in 2004, marked an early move into trade with an international frame. The work from the beginning appears to have depended on the usual requirements of the wine business: timing, consistency, and the ability to maintain trust across borders. It was a commercial start, but one grounded in the slower disciplines of tasting, negotiation, and follow-through. KH Wines S.r.l, co-founded by Gabriele Gorelli in 2015, extended that same commercial and sensory register into a second venture. In 2019, he became Ambassador for Italy of the International Wine Challenge in London, England, a role positioned between assessment and representation. The title requires more than fluency in wine; it asks for the capacity to present Italian wine within an international field without flattening its detail. Alongside those appointments, Gabriele also serves as Worldwide Faculty Ambassador of Fondazione Banfi and as Brand Ambassador of Vinventions. Taken together, the roles show a career built across education, trade, and advocacy rather than confined to one cellar or one market. The through-line is consistency: using the same working knowledge in different rooms, for different audiences, without changing the underlying standard.
The Work Today
Ambassador for Italy for the International Wine Challenge in London, England is the clearest expression of Gabriele Gorelli’s current position in the trade. The work sits at the intersection of evaluation, communication, and national identity, where credibility comes from sustained contact with the category rather than from posture. He moves through the wine world as a representative, but the substance remains technical: knowing the field, naming it accurately, and speaking to it in a way peers can trust.
Signature
Gabriele's signature dishes include Brunello FORMA. The name points back to the wine tradition that first defined his work, and it does so without excess: a direct reference to structure, identity, and the disciplined frame around which the rest is built.
Acclaim
Gabriele's honors include Master of Wine (2021). In trade terms, the title signals sustained study and measured recognition rather than speed. It places his work within the small set of professionals whose authority has been tested through formal examination as well as practice.
