The Fine Wines of theE&J Gallo Winery

“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a

greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”

― Ernest Hemingway

No company embodies the spirit and the humble origins of the American Winemaker more than the E&J Gallo Winery. Founded in 1933, the company was started by two brothers with an undying work-ethic and desire to elevate the quality and affordability

of American wines. They had a fantastic vision of bringing people wine they could both cherish and afford, but they also only had one functioning tractor at the start of their journey. The Gallo brothers would therefore each take 12-hour turns working

their fields on it. Little did Ernest and Julio know at that point that their hard work and market prowess would afford them the ability to produce world-class wines from

vineyard holdings all over the globe. In this collection, you will see the gems of their labor. You will taste wines from the whole world over; from the Veneto and from

Tuscany in Italy, to the Cotes du Provence in the south of France, all the way back to the spiritual home of the wine grape in America, California. Enjoy this journey

through an epic portfolio of wines, created over generations by a family who truly has lived the American Dream.

Pieropan, which goes back to 1860. The present Leonildo ("Nino")'s grandfather, Leonildo Senior,founded the estate and 'invented' Recioto di Soave, a concentrated dessert wine applying a
