The Vintners Soul.
Strolling of my time in the old orchards rows
Amidst the falling satin whiteness of blossoms
A thousand eyes open…if only for a moment
Longing for a life on Tuscany’s vineyard steppes
Here the vine grows absorbing the lands essence
Ensnaring the heart of those who suffer and toil
Crying for the candor of the evening winds
Freedom of the honeyed lavender wafting heavily
Lost beneath the tight gripping rows of vine
Tucking away within a chimerical paradise
Flavored of velvet lilac hinting of warmed lace
Moments tingling in the splashes of days gone by
It’s first releasing untainted supple perfection
Slowing down the world…if only for a moment
Enriched with native song and vanilla allusions
Pureness of waters touch with the Italian spirit
Relishing the warming of spirit upon the pallet
The essence…the vintner…vineyard…sweet wine
