Winebow wines

Winebow specializes in Italian wines. With the hundreds of varietals and local wines to choose from its very hard to get a handle on Italian . Usually finding a region that you like and expanding on that works.


Kris Pinot Grigio 2005 it tasted off to me.. a little moldy not a good bottle. I look forward to trying it again

Allegrini Soave 2005 minerals and light. 100% Garganega and stainless steel. Pleasant example of the type of wine that has been around for a long time. I remember when I first started Soave was synonimous with cheap italian whites. Not so this one


Zenato Valpolicella Superiore 2004 With any European wine that has Superiore on the label there will be more alcohol. This one had an interesting nose of supple leather and ripe fruit on the finish.


Argiolas Costera 2005 From the island of Sardinia. Cannonau or Cab Franc . Deep color with a dark cherry finish.


Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2003 Usual suspects for Valpolicella region but they add 5% Sangiovese which makes it not being allowed to be called Valpolicella. This wine over the last few years has been a Wine Spectator darling even being in their top 100 several times
