92 Vinous
Masses of ripe peaches, melon and sweet florals waft up from the spicy and exotic 2019 Il Bianco From Black to White. This is silky, pure and wonderfully fresh with lime-tinged fruits and confectionery spices. It tapers off with medium length, slightly tropical and teeming with minerality. The 2019 is a beautifully expressive and lifted vintage of From Black to White.
91 Robert Parker
This is the result of a white wine made in a profoundly red-wine region, a blend of 60% Rondinella Bianca, 15% Gold Traminer, 15% Kerner and 10% Incrocio Manzoni. The Zýmè 2019 Il Bianco From Black To White (closed with a glass cork) opens to a light golden color with a whitish shine that is typical of grapes that see no skin contact. It allows easy aromas of citrus, honeydew melon, star jasmine and sour grapefruit. There are also some bitter tones of almond or pine nut that add vertical intensity to this quirky white wine. Some 37,000 bottles were made. Rondinella Bianca has pinkish skins, and the variety was born from a naturally occurring mutation.
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.
