ABOUT THIS WINE
The Zýme Metodo Classico Rosé 2018 is a sparkling wine produced in the Veneto region of Italy. It is made exclusively from 100% Pinot Nero grapes using the Metodo Classico, a traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle. The winery, Zýme di Celestino Gaspari, was founded by Celestino Gaspari, who gained significant experience working with Giuseppe Quintarelli. The winery's name, 'Zýmē,' is Greek for 'yeast,' symbolizing naturalness and transformation. Zýme emphasizes an innovative approach within a historical context, with its cellars situated in a 15th-century sandstone quarry. This particular rosé is distinguished by its 'Dosaggio Zero' designation, indicating no added sugar after disgorgement, and its sole use of Pinot Nero grapes, which is notable for the region.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Zýme Metodo Classico Rosé 2018 is produced using the traditional Metodo Classico, involving secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine is made from 100% Pinot Nero grapes. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a lengthy period of aging on its lees, with a minimum of two years and potentially up to 42 months. This extended lees contact is integral to developing the wine's characteristic complexity and fine effervescence. The 'Dosaggio Zero' classification signifies that no sugar is added after the disgorgement process, resulting in a dry profile.
