Description

The original 2001 label presented the term Oseleta contracted in "Oz". The "O" was the initial of the vine's name and remembered the shape of a grape, whereas the "Z" alluded to Zýme. At the same time, it indicated the second letter of the vine "Oseleta", which is written with the "s" but pronounced as a "z". The 2008 label bears the full name "Oseleta" because, following the experience gained with the previous harvests, the qualitative objective that Zýme had set was achieved.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 2003
  • Oenologist: Celestino Gaspari
  • Bottles produced: 100.000
  • Hectares: 30
The name Zýme stands for “yeast" in Greek. Yeast is, of course, a vital element in the world of enology, but it also bears a symbolic meaning, since it combines the idea of naturalness, a fundamental value in Celestino Gaspari’s professional and existential career. Yeast also means the process of fermenting and maturing, which stands for a continuous quest to transformation. In harmony with that philosophy, the winery logo represents a grapevine leaf in which is centered a pentagon, a symbol of the five basic elements that combine wine production: people-vine-earth-sun-water.

Re-establishing an ideal habitat where people and nature are in perfect symbiosis is, in fact, the idea of a new humanism of the earth, of which Celestino Gaspari and Zýme are promoters.

This new idea has the purpose of establishing a new relationship between the environment and people as the natural guardian of their local corner of the earth. People are those who protect the environment, but also the ones who can renew it, and reinterpret it.

Ecosustainability to vineyard management practices, transparency of the final product through the understanding of its production processes, and respect for the rhythms of nature are the principles of Zýme’s approach to winemaking.

This approach stands for a simple style of living in harmony with the earth, in a historical moment in which people, bewildered by the opulence of fake well-being, have put at risk their own survival.

Tradition and innovation are the two complementary features of Zýme’s wine production. The respect for, and attention to the historic wines of the Valpolicella area accompany innovation and experimentation with new wines that will enhance and renew the local background. Culture, history, tradition, innovation – a glass of wine is so many factors, but in Celestino Gaspari’s heart, wine is above all "yeast" for the mind and "yeast" that grows a project, Zýme.
