Rachel Ann Passalacqua met Eugene “Pete” Seghesio when he purchased her father’s grapes from the San Lorenzo vineyard in southernmost Alexander Valley.  In 1956, the couple was married.  Seghesio Farms now manages that same vineyard, purchased in 1896 by Rachel Ann’s grandfather for the sum of ten gold coins.  At that time, the vineyard was already planted to and producing a Zinfandel field blend. Today, it represents our oldest heritage vineyard site. The 2009 San Lorenzo is a blend of 70% Zinfandel, 30% Petite Sirah.
