  ## History
  
  Samuele Sebastiani, a laborer, came to America from Tuscany and began making wine in Sonoma in 1904. Samuele Sebastiani built the business from one 501-gallon redwood vat to an operation of millions of bottles per year with multiple varietals. His grandchildren could not agree on the future of the business and sold in 2008.
