The Lezhë appellation, nestled in the north-west of Albania, embodies an ancient winemaking tradition, inherited from unique natural and cultural riches. Situated between lush mountains and the Adriatic Sea, this region benefits from an exceptional microclimate, combining the refreshing maritime influence with generous solar warmth, ideal for viticulture. The varied soils, ranging from clay-limestone to stony terrains, add a particular complexity to the wines of Lezhë.
Lezhë is renowned for its production of robust red wines, particularly from indigenous grape varieties like Kallmet, which reveal aromas of dark fruits and distinctive spicy notes. The white wines, on the other hand, often made from native grapes like Shesh i Bardhë, captivate with their freshness, floral notes, and mineral finish.
Lezhë not only represents the revival of Albanian winemaking traditions but also serves as an invitation to discover the vinous treasures of the Balkans. Whether you are a curious enthusiast or an experienced collector, exploring the Lezhë appellation will undoubtedly enrich your cellar with its uniqueness and authenticity.
