1. UPDATE on oiv activities
Gallo produces amazing wines in every category, to suit every taste.  Gallo also imports wines from nine wine growing countries in the world.  Gallo’s wine portfolio totals over 60 unique brands:
Barefoot is the number 1 wine in the US and has introduced many new wine drinkers to the wine category.
In 2011 alone we updated the Bella Sera Label and updated the Redwood Creek Label. Last year we also introduced The Naked Grape from California and Bodega Elena from Argentina.
