Vintage 2021
From the vintage reports of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella
A changeable year that ended well: a dry September gave healthy grapes.
A changeable season with late flowering and a dry September that gave healthy grapes.
March was very dry; April and May brought about 210 mm, close to normal, and June almost none. July to September had about 200 mm, some 50 mm below the average. Flowering came about ten days late and veraison about nine days late. Downy mildew needed precise work in May and June, and powdery mildew caused modest damage in a few sensitive spots. Dry weather in September kept botrytis away, and picking began around 15 September.
“Kairos” by Zymé
Zymè’s Kairos is an absolutely unique wine, a real mosaic of sensations and emotions.
It comes from at least 15 different grapes, 4 of which are white berried (Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) and 11 red berried (Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syraz, Teroldego, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese and Marzemino). Grapes that each bring their own, distinctive and unique characteristics. “Kairos” in ancient Greek means “convenient, opportune, for the right moment” and this Zymé wine embodies this very definition. A unique philosophy represented by the bottle label which represents a mosaic of patches of many colors, to testify the origin of the 15 different grapes, and a sundial that expresses the concept of exact time, as per the Greek definition. Elements that make it a fascinating wine, a perfect representation of the terroir of origin.
Speaking of vineyards here is difficult as each grape is born from a distinctive plot of land; all are located in the province of Verona and all are cultivated with organic fertilization and manual pruning, with a selection of the sprouts and strictly manual harvest. The harvest follows the different ripening times of the many grape varieties used. Vinified in steel and concrete tanks, it then goes on to ferment with indigenous yeasts for 20-25 days. After this period it is transferred to French oak barrels and rests there for at least 36 months, before spending another year in the bottle to stabilize. Thus was born one of the symbolic wines of this fantastic reality, a unique wine capable of giving fascinating and enveloping sensations.
Zymé’s Kairos is rich and complex, intense and persuasive, full-bodied and persistent and offers beautiful nuances of red fruit and undergrowth, tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves …

Celestino Gaspari is at the core of Zýmē Winery’s identity and success in Valpolicella. Growing up in nearby Val d’Illasi, he learned the practical aspects of viticulture early on by working with his family, while formal studies in agronomy refined his technical skills. At 20, a pivotal opportunity arose when he began working with Giuseppe Quintarelli, a renowned figure in Veneto winemaking, where he not only mastered key production techniques but also formed a personal connection by becoming Quintarelli’s son-in-law. This period shaped his philosophy and set the stage for his future projects.
In 1999, Gaspari put his extensive knowledge to use by converting an ancient 15th‑century sandstone quarry in San Pietro in Cariano into the modern facilities of Zýmē Winery. The winery, named after the Greek word for yeast, symbolizes the natural fermentation process and serves as a reminder of the land’s enduring influence. The cellar’s design, with stone cladding and strategically placed steel openings that mirror the contours of a vine leaf, echoes both the local environment and the winery’s guiding principles.
Zýmē Winery spans 30 hectares of vineyards and produces roughly 150,000 bottles annually while adhering to sustainable agricultural practices and environmental care. Gaspari’s balanced approach combines time-honored techniques with careful experimentation. His methodical work has allowed him to capture the inherent qualities of the indigenous grape varieties and soils of Valpolicella, contributing significantly to the region’s reputation on the international stage.
Under Gaspari’s leadership, Zýmē Winery is recognized for its commitment to authenticity and quality. The wines are a true reflection of the local terroir, blending historical practices with modern methods to create products that stand as a reliable expression of Valpolicella’s unique character.
