Zymé is the ancient greek word that means yeast, an essential element to wine and is connected to the concept of naturality. This is one of Celestino Gaspari’s fundamental values, as working with fermentation is a symbol of constant transformation. The create a balanced habitat where human and nature are in symbiosis, thanks to the use of ecological practices that want to keep the soil healthy and fertile, a paramount elements to express terroir to its best. The Valpollicella Classico Superiore Zymé is a wine that comes from vineyards located in the communal areas of Negrar and Sant’Ambrogio. The quality of the grapes is guaranteed by both the fresh climate, mitigated by the proximity to Lake Garda, and by the calcareous soil that is ideal for this typology. The last “ingredient” are the capable hands of Celestino Gaspari, that through his creativity expresses his love for his land.
Red ruby in color with garnet reflections. Aromas of plum, dark and red cherry emerge from the glass. To the palate, it’s soft and round, with a slightly sapid and spicy finish. Great with intense “primi piatti” like pasta dishes, or even ‘minestrone’. We suggest to have it with a “Fegato alla Veneziana”. SOng: Minor Swing, Django Reinhardt.
18-20°C
