Winery Zýmē

Zýmē began as a winemaking project led by Celestino Gaspari; the official website states that the brand's history started in 1999. The winery was carved out of an ancient sandstone quarry in San Pietro in Cariano. The architecture and underground spaces have been transformed to accommodate winemaking, aging and visits.

The name Zýmē highlights the naturalness of the process; the winery declares an approach that prioritizes respect for nature’s timing, the enhancement of native grape varieties and sustainability-oriented practices, with experimentation in blends and traditional drying techniques.

The winery is located in the Valpolicella Classica. The soils are described as having a calcareous-clayey matrix on the slopes of the Monti Lessini, with the presence of the so-called "Pietra Gallina." The building is set within a sandstone quarry that characterises the local landscape.
