Vintage 1984, Gabriele Gorelli MW is one of Italy's most esteemed wine experts. Born and raised in Montalcino, Tuscany, in February 2021, he became the first Italian Master of Wine. His passion for wine formed thanks to his paternal grandfather, once the smallest producer of Brunello di Montalcino. After linguistic studies, he gained a long experience in the visual communication of wine. In 2015 he co-founded KH Wines, which deals with strategic consultancy for high-level brands. Today Gabriele is Worldwide Faculty Ambassador for Fondazione Banfi, Brand Ambassador for Vinventions and Golden Vines Awards Ambassador for Italy.

Description
WARNING: IN ORDER TO ATTEND THIS TASTING, BEFORE BOOKING / BUYING THE TICKET, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ENTRY PASS FOR THE EXHIBITION VINITALY 2025 VALID FOR THE DAY IN WHICH THE TASTING TAKES PLACE.
The Grammar of Tannin is an invitation to join Italy’s first Master of Wine on a sensory journey that goes beyond the chemistry of taste to experience shape and the sense of touch, the interrelation of tannins and texture, phenolic grip and traction.
Twelve wines have been sourced from the length and breadth of Italy for this guided masterclass that explores the concepts of texture and grip in the world of Italian red wine.
Some wines hail from solid and established appellations whereas others are part of contemporary emerging narratives and were selected thanks to their idiosyncratic shape and 'punctuation.’
Vintages and details of the specific wines poured will be updated shortly.
