Carnevale - Venice, Vino...and Vivaldi

Hannah French and New York-based wine historian Ron Merlino explore music and wines associated with 18th-century Venice during Carnevale, especially in operas by Vivaldi.

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.
