We are escaping the dampness and spending the weekend in Italy here at Madrona Wine with two days of great Italian wines to please the palate.

Saturday we have a full line up of Tasty Tuscans.
2016 San Felice, Vermentino Perolia  $13
2014 San Felice, Chianti Classico$16

2013 Tenuta Argentiera, Poggio ai Ginepri, Bolgheri Rosso   $20

Sunday we are pouring two more from the big boot.

2016 Francesco Intorcia, Grillo $12
A Sicilian white with distinct notes of citrus fruits and yellow fruits, also ripe, and pleasant hints of herbs and sweet spices. Intense, rich and embracing, it is smooth and warm on the palate.

2013 Leonello, Valpolicella Ripasso   $15
Corvina, Rondella, Molinara
This is a strong, full-bodied wine with an intense bouquet of red fruit conserved in spirits with agreeable hints of spices and a well-balanced taste. This is undoubtedly a Ripasso wine with an impressive, distinct, tannic, clean and elegant character.  Was $22 now $15

Madrona Wine Merchants offers free wine tastings featuring 4-5 selections on a theme every Saturday from 2 until the bottles run out and on Sunday we offer a mini-tasting of two wines all day from 11-5.
