Founded in 1999 by Celestino Gaspari, Zýmē stands out as one of the most distinctive wineries in Valpolicella, combining a deep respect for tradition with a genuine passion for research and experimentation. At the heart of the winery’s philosophy is the belief that people and nature should work in harmony, and that wine should be an authentic expression of its origins, reflecting the land’s biodiversity and the knowledge and craftsmanship of those who cultivate it. The name Zýmē itself, derived from the Greek word for “yeast”, captures this spirit of fermentation, transformation and constant evolution that defines the winery’s vision.

Alongside its commitment to preserving indigenous grape varieties and the great winemaking traditions of the Verona region, Zýmē embraces the freedom to explore new forms of expression, guided by sustainable practices and a profound respect for nature’s rhythms. From vineyard management and grape selection to every stage of the winemaking process, Gaspari’s vision and the expertise of his team shape each decision. The result is a collection of wines with a distinctive sense of identity, expressing the character of their origins through a style that is both highly individual and instantly recognisable.
