Vittorio Sangiacomo signed the deed to a 55-acre Sonoma ranch in 1927. For decades they grew for others, supplying 70-plus wineries who vineyard-designate the Sangiacomo name. In 2016 the third generation launched a label with winemaker James MacPhail. Their El Novillero vineyard in Carneros is among the most studied.
The Sangiacomo family has been farming Sonoma since Vittorio Sangiacomo signed the deed to a 55-acre ranch in 1927. For decades they grew grapes for others — supplying fruit to over 70 premium California wineries, many of which vineyard-designate their wines with the Sangiacomo name. In 2016 the third generation finally launched their own label. Working with winemaker James MacPhail, the family produces small-lot Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from 1,600 certified sustainable estate acres across Carneros and Sonoma Coast. Their El Novillero vineyard in Carneros is one of the most studied in the appellation.
Home Ranch Chardonnay, Sonoma — From the family's historic Home Ranch: a bright, terroir-driven estate Chardonnay with freshness and tension.
Five Clone Pinot Noir, Sonoma — A signature bottling layering five Pinot Noir clones from the estate vineyards into a complex, expressive whole.
Roberts Road Pinot Noir, Petaluma Gap — A cool-climate, vineyard-designate Pinot Noir from the wind-swept Petaluma Gap.
Third-generation Sonoma farmers since 1927 — and among the most sought-after grapegrowers in California, with 1,600 acres across Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap and Napa — the Sangiacomo family (siblings Mike, Mia and Steve) launched their own label in 2016. The estate focuses on cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a Napa Cabernet (Vimaria) and a rosé of Pinot Noir alongside.
For three generations the Sangiacomos have farmed over 1,600 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap, and Sonoma Valley — supplying grapes to many of California's most acclaimed producers before launching their own label. Winemaker James MacPhail crafts the estate bottlings from the family's best blocks, including the celebrated El Novillero vineyard. Tastings are hosted on the Terrace at the Home Ranch, overlooking one of the family's prized Chardonnay vineyards, and are intentionally small and personal. A rare chance to taste vineyard-designate wines alongside the farmers who grew the grapes.
James MacPhail is the winemaker for Sangiacomo Family Wines, the label launched around 2016 by one of Sonoma's most respected multi-generational grape-growing families, who have farmed Carneros, the Sonoma Coast, and the Petaluma Gap for roughly a century. A Marin County native and acclaimed Pinot Noir specialist who founded MacPhail Family Wines in 2002, MacPhail had already worked with the Sangiacomos' prized vineyards for over a decade before being tapped to craft their wines. The partnership focuses on terroir-driven, vineyard-designate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the family's celebrated estate sites such as Roberts Road, built on shared values of farming, craft, and attention to detail.
The Sangiacomo family has farmed Sonoma since 1927, when the founding generation of Italian immigrants bought a Carneros fruit ranch and began a legacy now carried by the third and fourth generations. For decades the family ranked among California’s most respected grape growers, supplying fruit to dozens of top wineries before launching their own Sangiacomo Family Wines label in 2016. Today roughly 1,600 acres across Carneros, the Sonoma Coast, and the Petaluma Gap remain family-farmed, with cousins sharing the work of vineyard, cellar, and tasting room. Their estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reflect nearly a century of devoted stewardship of the land.
