Amarone and Juliet: Wines of Veneto, Italy

Many vineyards, alike in dignity
Near old Verona where we lay our scene
From ancient vine buds to new raisining
From simple wines to a vinous queen
From forth the Alpine hills near Piave
Comes a sparkling wine known as Prosecco
To the Garda’s shores through hills Soave
Also Valpolicella Classico

From crisp and light and citrus-filled whites
Through to rich, deep, raisined Amarone
Several different styles of these fine wines
Will be presented in this wine tasting

This tasting of Veneto wines will have
The romance of the region you’d expect
But unlike Romeo and Juliet
Contain a lot less of the stabbing
