Rarely is a new wine born...
...with a pedigree as noble as PALMERI.
Palmeri wines are created by Kerry and Daisy Damskey,
Denise Prentice and Jan Krupp with wisdom and
passion as an expression of their dedication
to what they love.
The name Palmeri comes from Quercus palmeri, a
small and scrappy oak that grows in the mountain ranges
that Kerry and Jan gravitate to when selecting ultra-premium grape growing land, The label for PALMERI features a wild
and exotic boar, representing the diverse fauna that is
found on our hillsides. We have come to refer to this boar
as Mr. Palmeri. He, like the wine, seems to have a
special charm of his own.
Dr. Jan Krupp became a legend in the California wine business when came to the Napa Valley in the early 1990s and planted vineyards on some amazingly rugged terrain. Certainly
some people must have thought he was out of his mind,
but he has been able to consistently nurture some of the
most sought after harvests year after year. His dedication to
bringing out the nuanced flavors and textures of these hillside vineyards have proven to be the foundation for an ongoing
dialog between the PALMERI partners.
