Zyme

The name Zýmē comes from Greek and means “yeast”, a fundamental element in the world of winemaking, but also a symbolic element that evokes naturalness, a basic value in the professional and existential journey of Celestino Gaspari, and fermentation, understood as a continuous attitude towards transformation. In harmony with this philosophy, the company logo represents a vine leaf in which a pentagon is inscribed, symbolizing the five main elements for wine production: man-vine-earth-sun-water.

Restoring a perfect habitat where man and nature are in perfect symbiosis is, in fact, the starting and ending point of a new humanism of the land, of which Celestino Gaspari and Zýmē are bearers, aiming to establish a renewed relationship with the environment where man is the natural guardian of the territory: the one who protects it, but also the one who is able to renew it, reinterpreting it.

Zyme: tradition and innovation

Ecosustainability of agricultural practices and the readability of the final product through knowledge of production processes and respect for nature's timing are the cornerstones of Zýmē's approach to winemaking, seen as an element and symbol of living simply and in harmony with the earth, at a historical moment when man, dazed by the opulence of false well-being, risks his own survival.

Tradition and innovation are the two complementary tracks on which the production of Zýmē wines unfolds, where respect and care for the historical wines of Valpolicella are combined with the invention and experimentation of new wines that enhance and renew the territory. Culture, history, tradition, innovation— a glass of wine is many, many things, but in the heart of Celestino Gaspari, it is above all yeast for the mind and to grow a project: Zýmē.

The vineyards of Zyme

The Zýmē company has adopted over the years a widespread structure, cultivating vineyards and olive groves scattered throughout the Veneto region, with particular concentration in Valpolicella, in the Veronese area and the province of Vicenza.

The choice of such a rich variety of lands reflects the company philosophy that has its pillars in research, curiosity, and experimentation. The current basket of lands comes from different situations (some lands are family-owned, others purchased, still others governed by collaboration contracts) and aims to reflect and express the richness of the territory through particular soils and microclimates linked to individual plots.

Such disparate cultivation areas represent for Zýmē a continuous source of wealth and challenge and allow it to best express its multifaceted project that sees wines like Kairos, derived from fifteen grape varieties, as the flagship products of the brand.
