Mirdite
Carved by the unforgiving peaks of the Albanian Alps, Mirdita isn't your typical wine region. This land, forged in resilience, boasts a surprising secret – flourishing vineyards nestled amidst the dramatic mountain scenery.
Here, indigenous grapes like Shesh i Bardhe ("White Field") and Kallmet rule the roost. The harsh environment produces wines with unexpected character. Imagine whites bursting with minerality, a touch of citrus, and a steely edge that reflects the region's spirit. Reds, on the other hand, surprise with their bold tannins and notes of black fruit, a testament to the tenacity of the vines.

Mirdite boasts a history as fierce as its landscape. Known for its warrior clans, the region has a long tradition of hospitality.
