Description

Experience the authenticity of Albanian wine with the Kallmet Classic 2020, a dry red wine that concentrates all the best of the indigenous Kallmet variety and its very special, rich historical heritage. Made in the renowned Kallmet region, this wine is a testimony to Albanian winemaking culture and tradition.

Designation of Origin: A Land of Wine Excellence
Made from the best grapes of the Kallmet region, located less than 30 km from the Kallmeti Winery, this wine reflects the distinctive character of the sandy soils and ideal climate of this wine-growing area.

100% Native Kallmet Grapes
Produced exclusively from Kallmet grapes grown in the vineyards of Lezha and Scutari, the average yield is 50-60 quintals per hectare to ensure that only a high quality selection, rich in flavor and character is used for the wine. 

Winemaking process: The Art of Tradition
Guided by the expert oenologists of SEA, Studio Enologico Associato, the fermentation of the Kallmet Classic 2020 takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the natural aromas. Aging for 10 months in stainless steel tanks is followed by 6 months in French oak barrels to add further complexity to the wine. Finally, the wine rests in the bottle for 4-6 months to reach complete maturation with a harmonious aromatic profile.

Organoleptic Characteristics: A wine with a strong character
It features a vibrant blood red color and an aromatic profile that mixes freshness and depth. On the palate, the Kallmet Classic is tannic, full-bodied.
