Zymè

Zymè’s History and Philosophy

Relying on consultants is not a custom in the Veneto area of Valpolicella . Only some of the major professionals in the sector, many of whom work or have worked from the Alps to Sicily, have found a few clients in this part of Italy. In fact, the major companies rarely turn to them in planning or processing their wines. Choice that can be considered both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the point of view, but in any case it remains a fact to be taken into consideration in the discussions and analysis of the local wines.

A decisive exception to the rule, however, is Celestino Gaspari who, after working as a consultant for numerous famous and prestigious wineries in the Valpolicella appellation, is now a producer with 30 hectares of vineyards and a cutting-edge, technologically advanced, fascinating cellar architecturally and fully functional and efficient at the same time. Gaspari is not an easy man to catalog or define, he is at ease with many grape varieties and wine styles and refuses limiting labels such as traditional or innovative, international or indigenous, classic or creative.

The figure of his work is unique, the most varied in the whole Valpolicella but uniform in quality. Just to cite a few examples: 602020, an impressive Bordeaux blend of Merlot and two Cabernets ; 100% Oseleta , a rediscovery and powerful red grape of the area; From Black to White , a blend of Rondinella Bianca , Kerner , Gold Traminer and Incrocio Manzoni ; Tranaltriwhich impeccably uses Trebbiano and Garganega grapes ; Kairos , a blend of 15 grape varieties, unique and sumptuous. And, in addition, Valpolicella Superiore , Amarone  and Amarone Riserva La Mattonara , all, needless to say, extraordinary bottles.
