Gallo Family Winery has an impressive history. For nearly 90 years, they have been a leader in winemaking in America and California. The company was founded by brothers Ernest and Julio in 1933, just after Prohibition in America. They were of Italian descent, with their robots based in Piedmont, the birthplace of wine in Italy. Their vision was clear: to make wines that are enjoyable at any time. Well, we can report that they succeeded. Now, four generations later, Gallo is the largest family-owned winery in the world. That's impressive.
Made from the beloved Moscato grape
This Gallo Moscato is made from the Moscato grape. This grape is known for its sweet character. This white wine is therefore ideal for lovers of sweet white wines. The grapes are grown in California, around the city of Modesto, which is located inland from the metropolitan area of San Francisco. Modesto has been Gallo's home base since its founding. The climate is perfect for Moscato grapes. The abundance of sunshine makes the grapes wonderfully juicy, allowing the Moscato grape's character to truly shine. It's no wonder that Gallo Moscato has been one of the best-selling sweet white wines for years.
