Donald still actively farms over 400 acres of grapes unique to the Cucamonga Valley. Galleano Enterprises is the largest shipper of grapes in Southern California, moving products to other wineries throughout California. The Rhone varieties, such as Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignane, and Cinsault, are in high demand by wineries and consumers alike as their outstanding qualities cannot be duplicated anywhere else in California. Cucamonga Valley Zinfandel grapes are sought after by some of the largest wineries in California.

Galleano Winery uses traditional European techniques in harvesting and producing wine. The majority of our vineyards are head pruned (free standing) and are free from herbicides and pesticides (certified organically grown). More importantly to our winemaker is the fact that these grapes are non-irrigated, a practice used to extract all of the essence from the fruit, giving these grapes their intense varietal characteristics. The grapes are hand-picked and quickly transported to the winery where they are crushed. The wine is fermented on the skins, using the natural yeast from the grape, which infuses the beautiful red color and tannins. After fermenting for about 10 days at temperature from 75 to 80 degrees, the free run wine is drawn off. The pressed wine is then distilled into brandy which is used for dessert wines.
