Five elements, five veins conveying sap to the vine leaf, five fingers on a person’s hand: a powerful connection between nature and human endeavour. Wine is the outcome of this symbiosis: born of the sap rising up from the earth, it takes shape through the dedication and mastery of the hands that make it.
THE PHILOSOPHY
I AM ZÝMĒ
MY VISION OF
AGRI-CULTURE
MANKIND, VINES, SOIL, WATER, SUN. WITHOUT THESE ELEMENTS, THERE WOULD BE NO WINE. WITHOUT THESE ONES, THERE WOULD BE NO US.

Selection of the best years from the best vineyards and the healthiest, ripest bunches of grapes. This selection is made directly and exclusively by Celestino Gaspari.
Painstaking selection of grapes. If a year or a specific area fails to meet the standards for this level, it slides back to the previous selection.
One-by-one selection of bunches grapes from our oldest vines.
Selection of grapes from our younger vines.
General selection of grapes worthy of Zýmē brand.
Technology?
Useful only when it benefits the earth rather than business.
The earth needs care, not exploitation.
The earth needs balance.
When culture and knowledge cross each other's paths with human tools and wisdom, something new, unique and surprising is born … and grows.
It’s Zýmē.
MOTHER EARTH'S
METABOLISM
METABOLISM
PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE LAND THEY LIVE ON, SO IT’S THEIR DUTY TO PROTECT IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY’RE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN REWORK AND RENEW IT.
We’re here to listen to and care for the earth, not to be exploited for our own end. In exchange, it gives us the best it possibly can.
A MULTI-FACETED
PROJECT
0.1
Greater eco-sustainability in our farming practices
We use farming practices that respect the environment. From the choice of grape varieties to soil management, every step of the production process is designed to reduce our environmental impact to a minimum and preserve our local biodiversity.
0.2
Respect for nature’s rhythms
Wine is the product of the vine and human endeavour. Winemaking requires knowledge, time and patience. We follow the natural rhythms of grapes without forcing anything. From harvesting the grapes to aging the wine in the bottle, we let every step take the time it needs. That’s how we make wines with real character that speak of our land and our philosophy.
0.3
Readability of our wines
A great wine should be able to be “read” like a good book. Every sip should tell a story, revealing its origin and its soul. Our wines are complex but balanced, with aromas and flavours that harmoniously melt together. They’re a sensory experience that titillates the palate and the mind.

Balance of elements
Mankind, vines, soil, water and sun: these are the five vital elements for winemaking. Zymè is the thread that binds them together, creating perfect balance. Each element has its role to play and each step of the process is carried out with the utmost care in order to create wines that are the expression of the synergy between humankind and nature.
0.5
It’s all about metabolism
Metabolism is the key to understanding the life of vines. Every process, from blossoming to the ripening of the grapes, has its own rhythm and its own rules. Knowing and respecting these rhythms means allowing the wine to develop its own identity. That’s why we avoid invasive interventions and give the vines the space they need to express themselves.
