In ancient Greek, the word zyme means âyeast,â a term of fundamental importance in oenology. Zyme's logo is a pentagon within a vine leaf, symbolizing the five primary elements of wine making - man, vine, earth, sun, water. Zyme was officially founded by Celestino Gaspari in 2003, but has been active since 1999 as his oenological consulting firm.
