Farming in Sonoma since 1927

“Our vineyards are like family heirlooms. They all have a story, an emotional connection.”

– STEVE SANGIACOMO

Our family has always felt a deep connection to the land — most especially through farming.
It all began in Genoa, Italy where a good day’s work for our grandfather Vittorio Sangiacomo started and ended in the field. He voyaged to America in 1913 on the advice of our great grandfather and got his first job at age 17 in the vegetable fields at Bay Farm Island in Alameda County, California. Shortly thereafter he began working in the scavenger industry in San Francisco where he later successfully launched his own business. But he longed to return to working the land and in 1927, he purchased a 52-acre fruit tree ranch in Sonoma Valley.  Today, we call that the Home Ranch.

For decades our family has been dedicated to farming in Sonoma County. We are grapegrowers with a passion for sustainability and stewardship. Year by year we have gathered knowledge and continue to pursue perfection in farming each and every row of our vineyards. Through research, trial and error in the field, and critical evaluation of the resulting wines, we have learned how to select the right varietals, clones, and rootstocks, as well as row spacing and orientation for more than 100 individual sites. This approach, paired with the appropriate pruning, irrigation, canopy management, and nutrients is what enables us to tease an extraordinary range of flavors out of our Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. At every step of the way we seek to produce the highest quality fruit with the lowest environmental impact possible.
