Situated in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the ancient sandstone quarry, tracing its origins back to the 15th century, serves as a testament to the deep bond between Zýmē’s ethos and its local terroir. This underground complex, exuding a unique and captivating genius loci, bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, seamlessly connecting the past with the future. As a convergence point of nature, culture, and history, the quarry stands as the foundational cornerstone of Zýmē, its physical structure hewn from natural stone, a mystical cavern where the wines undergo maturation year after year before reaching their ultimate expression in the bottle.

TASTING NOTES
A radiant, dense ruby red shade that evolves towards garnet as it ages. It has a weighty texture rich in glycerine. This wine presents a lavish and full-bodied blend of fruits, flowers, and minerals that interplay with clarity. The overall impression is one of intricate richness and complexity. Flavours of fruits, spices, and higher alcohols dance alongside notes of fruit preserves, forest floor, pipe tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, all underscored by a mineral essence that showcases the profound depth of this wine. The finish is long and carries a charming hint of sweetness. Harlequin stands out from its younger sibling Kairos with its precise attention to detail.
