✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Gallo Signature Series Pinot Noir represents a deeply personal project led by third-generation winemaker Gina Gallo, bridging the historic legacy of the Gallo family with contemporary, artisanal winemaking. Sourced from premier cool-climate vineyards in California, often highlighting the fog-swept slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands or the Russian River Valley, this wine reflects the family's decades-long search for exceptional coastal terroir. The grapes are carefully harvested and undergo traditional fermentation before aging in select French oak barrels. This process tempers the vibrant red fruit flavors of cherry and pomegranate with subtle notes of baking spice, earth, and toasted oak, showcasing a refined, elegant expression of California Pinot Noir.
