Carnevale - Venice, Vino...and Vivaldi

The Early Music Show

Available for over a year

New York-based wine historian Ron Merlino joins Hannah once again to explore some of the music and wines associated with 18th-century Venice during Carnevale season, with a particular focus on the operas of Vivaldi - himself something of a wine connoisseur. Hannah will be tasting three red wine varieties - a Marzemino, a Refosco and an Amarone.
