Sangiacomo Family Vineyards

What Sangiacomo Family Vineyards does

Sangiacomo Family Vineyards is a third-generation, family-owned grapegrowing operation founded in 1927 and headquartered in Sonoma, California. The company farms more than 1,600 acres of premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across 15 vineyards spanning four Sonoma County AVAs (Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap, and Sonoma Valley), with the estate subdivided into 300+ individually managed blocks of 5–10 acres each. Since 2006 the operation has used GPS-enabled field devices connected to a web-based database to capture block-level agronomic data — including pressure bomb readings, yield estimates, bunch weights, and cluster counts — supporting precision viticulture and customized farming services for clients.

The company's primary revenue stream is B2B bulk grape sales to more than 70 premium wineries, many of which vineyard-designate their finished wines with the Sangiacomo name — a relationship model evidenced by named customers such as Rombauer, Chappellet, Frank Family, Sojourn Cellars, La Follette, Benziger, Neyers, Auteur, Westwood Estate, and Schug. Wines produced from Sangiacomo fruit have scored 93–97 points from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, and Jeb Dunnuck. The company has also launched its own Sangiacomo Family Wines estate label, selling vineyard-designate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay direct to consumers at approximately $58–$80 per bottle through sangiacomowines.com and on-site tasting experiences.

Ownership and management remain with the founding family: partners Mike Sangiacomo and Steve Sangiacomo oversee vineyard and grape sales operations, Mia Pucci (their sister) leads strategic direction, and Mike Pucci serves as Operations Manager. The company is privately held with no institutional or PE ownership, markets exclusively within the United States, and has historically been a stable, reputation-driven operation — though it described 2024 as its worst year in more than 30 years amid a Sonoma grape surplus and canceled winery contracts.
