Zyme

The name Zýmē comes from the Greek and means yeast, a fundamental element in the world of oenology, but also a symbolic element that recalls naturalness. Nature is also emphasised in the architectural construction of the company. Founded by Celestino Gaspari, the Zýmē winery represents the true synthesis between man and terroir and is located in the heart of Valpolicella Classica in San Pietro in Cariano, in an ancient sandstone quarry dating back to the 15th century. Looking at the winery from above, one can see the pentagonal shape of the vine leaf, and each tip corresponds to one of the five main elements for wine production: man, vine, earth, sun, water. The various production processes also take place in accordance with nature's timing and through a special knowledge of production processes. Geologically speaking, we are located on the slopes of the Lessini Mountains, in a soil consisting of marly and earthy limestone also known as “Pietra Gallina”, which gives minerality and freshness to the Zýmē wines. In perfect balance with the winemaker's idea of sustainability, the Zýmē winery has always sought to revalue and enhance the indigenous grape varieties cultivated in nine hectares of vineyards. Name and address of producer/distributor: Az. Agr. Zýmē - Via Ca' del Pipa, 1 37029 San Pietro in Cariano, Località Mattonara (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
