Kallmet is a mostly hilly area where Zadrima field is related in harmony with Vela Mountain. Located 11 km from the town of Lezha, 18 km from the coast of Shengjin and 55 km from Tirana.

Kallmeti Winery was established in 2006 thanks to the Gjini brothers’ passion for wine and their love for the land where they live, in the heart of their birthplace, Kallmet, after which the grape was named. The main purpose of the winery is to produce the best Kallmet wine, to increase the quantity and improve the quality year after year. From a production of 50 hl of wine in 2007, the winery has grown year after year. Wine is produced entirely from Kallmet grape, cultivated in its area of origin, in Kallmet and the surrounding villages. Part of it is cultivated in the hills of the wonderful Bukmira hills over 500 m above sea level. Read more
