92 Vinous
An alluring mix of exotically spiced cherries, hints of tangerine and sweet herbs wafts up from the sexy Zyme 2018 Kairos. This is a juicy and extroverted effort, with depths of mineral-tinged red fruits and waxy rose tones within that coat the palate with liquid florals. The acids are bright and enliven the expression. This is so appealing with cinnamon, clove and pomegranate that lingers on and on, while still remaining remarkably fresh.
Producer
Zýmē
Zýmē is as indispensable to Valpolicella, as yeast is to vinification. The term zýmē, in ancient Greek means yeast, but the word represents much more than the name of this winery – it is a symbol of Celestino Gaspari’s devotion to nature. Although recently established by Gaspari himself in 2003, he grew up in the wine industry, and has worked many years already as a consulting oenologist. This extremely talented individual, with his avant-garde philosophy has become one of the most remarkable and distinctive producers in the region. Located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area, the age-old sandstone quarry is home to the contemporary Zýmē estate. Crafting wines that are reputed for their seamless synthesis of the five elements of wine-making – earth, sun, water, vine, and man – each bottle is an icon of the synergy found between nature and history.
