KANTINA CACO

This winery was founded in 1993 by the family of Ersol Caco, one of the country's top sommeliers. Today, he manages the estate and offers two wines named after the ancient town of Ohrid, Lychnidos: Lynnid i Bardhe, a white made from tokay, muscat and riesling; and Lyhnid i Kuq, a red made from merlot and gems, a rare local grape variety. Also worth trying: three rakis, a rosé made from the Bulgarian pamid grape and the excellent Harmoni red (merlot and gems). Beware, prices are high.
