What it is

The ancient vines: Albanian wine — Shesh (white and black, the Tirana hills' grapes), Kallmet (the red of Lezha, called the Balkan's noble), Debina and the revival of native varieties after the collectivist vineyards fell. Origins: Albania is among Europe's oldest wine lands (Illyrian vines, 2,000+ years); communism industrialised quantity; since 1991 family wineries (Çobo, Kantina Arbëri) rebuilt quality. Made from: native grapes from coastal hills and lake basins. How it's made: 1) Grow on terraced limestone. 2) Modern cellars blend tradition with steel and oak. 3) Serve with tavë kosi and byrek. Served: in Tirana's wine bars and Berat's castle restaurants. Flavor: Shesh fresh and citrusy; Kallmet structured and dark. Strength: 12-13.5%. Culture: wine is Albania's quiet comeback story — the native grapes are its plot. See also: Raki (Albanian).
