Gourmet products local specialties and wines Kallmet

This winery, founded in 2003, is not part of the Kallmet region, but it does produce Kallmet. With 100 hectares of vineyards, it is one of the largest estates in Albania. It is located in the small town of Rrëshen (population 8,000), near the freeway leading to Kosovo. Here, the Kacorri family offers to taste one kallmet and two rakis. However, the tasting tour is a little expensive. You'll have to pay extra to try the sparkling and white wines made from the shesh i bardhë grape variety.

This multi-award-winning winery, founded by the Gjini family in 2006, produces only kallmet, one of Albania's finest reds. Aged for twenty-four months, it comes from the estate's 10 hectares of vines, as well as from grapes purchased from small local winegrowers. The tasting tour (in English, booking 48 hours in advance) is also an opportunity to discover the raki stills, as well as a very fine olive oil made from leccino and frantoio (Tuscany) and arbequina (Catalonia).
