WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Zýme Syrah 2015 is produced from 100% Syrah grapes. Fermentation takes place in cement vats, followed by an extended maceration period of 40 days. The wine then undergoes a lengthy aging process of 48 months in barriques. The winery's philosophy, as represented by its logo, emphasizes the five essential elements of winemaking: man, vine, earth, sun, and water. The use of Syrah in the Veneto region is considered an innovative element for the winery.
