Torre Shesh i Zi
Georgius Castriotus Scanderbeg Winery / Albania
The Authentic Balkan Heritage Red
Brilliant ruby-red color. The nose is remarkably unique, offering bright aromas of wild red cherries, pomegranate, and a rustic dash of crushed black pepper and dried Mediterranean herbs. Medium-bodied and earthy on the palate with light, snappy tannins and a clean, refreshing finish.
⭐ (With a very modest 12% alcohol volume and a lean, clean profile, this is built for easy drinking without a heavy morning tax).
Traditional Albanian Tavë Kosi (baked lamb with rice and yogurt), grilled lamb chops, seasoned meatballs (qofte), or a plate of local feta and olives.
If you're traveling through the Balkans, you have to stop drinking international grapes and drink the local history. This bottle is a breath of fresh air. It is light on its feet, a bit savory, and smells exactly like the sunbaked hillsides around you. It’s the ultimate dinner wine when you're sitting out at a local taverna watching the Adriatic waves roll in.
