Winemaker Notes

Our family's Barrelli Creek Vineyard is located in the temperate, Region III hillsides of Sonoma Countys Alexander Valley; on a site first planted by Italian immigrants over a century ago. The low vigor of this vineyard's gravelly clay loam soils, in combination with its micro-climate and optimal viticultural practices, yield intensely concentrated Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes loaded with the zesty aromas and flavors of black cherries, boysenberry jam, and black pepper. With three generations and over six decades of experience in northern Sonoma, our family believes that the "secret" to producing world class wines is to start with world class grapes. We meticulously shoot positioned, cluster thinned, and hand harvested grapes for this wine from only the finest blocks at Barrelli Creek Vineyard in September 1997.

Gallo of Sonoma, California
Gallo of Sonoma Winery Image
The Gallo family tradition in Sonoma County began in the 1930's when Matt and Gina Gallo's grandfather, Julio, recognized the potential of winemaking in Sonoma. The Gallo family now owns eight vineyards in Sonoma County. These vineyards represent a cross-section of Sonoma's diverse micro-climates, thereby adding to the complexity and rich flavors of the award-winning Gallo of Sonoma wines.

Gallo of Sonoma wines represent the best of what Sonoma County has to offer. They are crafted with pride by Matt and Gina Gallo, Third Generation Family Winemakers in Sonoma County, California's premier winegrowing region.

50-50 Give-Back Plan
More than just a caretaker of the vines, Julio Gallo believed that his family had an obligation to protect the land by planting vineyards in a way that would preserve the local environment. His first step in accomplishing this task was to set aside as wildlife habitat one acre of property for every acre planted to vineyard in Sonoma County. Today, Julio's grandson, Matt, continues this 50-50 Give-Back Plan, managing a 6,000 acre property portfolio that balances 3,000 acres of planted vineyard with 3,000 acres of natural habitat.
