Madonna has shared a sweet tribute to her dad Silvio Ciccone.
The singer shared a rarely-seen snap of her father, 90, who grew up as an Italian immigrant in the US, as she celebrated his business.
Madonna, 63, told her fans that it was her dad's dream to make wine and own a vineyard one day, and now he does just that, with a winery plot in Michigan.
Established in 1995, Ciccone Vineyard and Winery is run by Silvio and his wife Joan, with Madonna's half-siblings Mario and Paula taking roles as Vineyard Manager and Wine Maker.
Last summer, Madonna's family celebrated her beloved father's 90th birthday and saw her clan return to her family's vineyard.
The superstar was joined by five of her six children, with her eldest son Rocco, 20, not in attendance.
Posting clips from the trip, Madonna told fans how father "lived through many traumas" and proudly branded him "a survivor who worked hard for everything he had".
In the caption, Madonna wrote: "My father is a survivor growing up as an Italian Immigrant in the US and living thru many traumas but always working hard for everything he had.
"He taught me the importance of hard work and earning one’s way in life………….Again I thank you.
"It was so special to spend your 90th birthday with you and my children in your vineyard."
The newly-shared sweet snap of her dad comes after Madge had taken to the studio to work on some new music.
The Material Girl star kept her fans updated with another collection of sizzling snaps as she posed in a black leather ensemble.
She uploaded a series of pics to her social media which began with a sultry selfie as she applied lipstick for the camera.
However, the pics soon took a spin as she filtered in more selfies, showing off her skirt and black leather jacket combo, with other more revealing snaps added in.
Madonna wrote in the post's caption: “In the Stu working on 50 dance remixes with Mike Dean and a little help from Honey Dijon.”
One fan commented under the post: “50 dance remixes? My dream come true."
While a second added: “Omg, I can’t. My queen.”
And a third penned: “Queen of the universe,” while another simply put: “You are amazing.”
