An excellent year. A cold, wet spring, then a hot summer and a harvest right on time.
A cold, wet spring and a hot summer, with a harvest close to the average date.
After a warm, dry March, April and May were the coldest and wettest in 30 years. The summer was very hot, with heat waves at the end of June, peaking at 38°C, and at the end of July, plus some local hail. The spring rain carried the vines through a dry June. Veraison came late, ending in the last week of August; then good swings between day and night brought sound ripening and picking from mid September, a week later than in 2018. A quiet year for vine disease.
“Syrah” Veneto Igp by Zymé
Syrah Veneto IGP 2019 by Zymé is a pure Syrah from the Colli Berici hills in Lonigo, where clay and limestone soils help shape its structure and depth. The grapes are selected manually, cluster by cluster, between the second and third decade of September, then left to dry in the air for 20 to 30 days. Fermentation lasts around forty days and takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine matures for at least four years in new barrique and then spends another year in bottle, developing its generous character.
In the glass it shows a deep ruby red that gradually turns toward garnet with age. The aroma is intense, with black pepper, chocolate, blueberry and cranberry, followed by a long finish marked by tobacco, licorice, rhubarb and cocoa. The palate is warm and rich, full bodied and supported by fine tannins. Notes of plum, cherry, chocolate and mint build a dense and expressive structure that unfolds slowly with air.
This Syrah pairs particularly well with grilled beef, lamb, game, mature cheeses and goat-milk cheeses, as well as flavourful cold cuts such as capocollo and coppa. It is best served at 18°C in a ballon glass to highlight its texture. Technical data for this wine include 14.5% alcohol, 1 g/l residual sugar, 5.7 g/l total acidity, 30 g/l dry extract and a pH of 3.40. It is available in 0.75 L bottles, packed in six-bottle cases, with wooden box options for one, two, three or six bottles.
The label invites personal interpretation and echoes the grape’s complexity through the image of a woman, a warrior and a winemaker entwined in a red, heartlike form, with roots at the base as a reminder of origins never to be forgotten. This is a dry red wine with presence, depth and a long life ahead.

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.
