Adds Berat to your Me Zemër Passport

Tasting Notes

Pale gold with fine, steady bubbles. Green apple and citrus on the nose, with a touch of bread and toast from its time aging on the yeast. Crisp and dry, with a salty, mineral finish.

Serve & Pair

Serve well chilled at 6 to 8°C (43 to 46°F). Lovely on its own as an aperitif, and with oysters and seafood, fried appetizers, byrek, and salty cheeses.

Why We Chose It

The name joins the Albanian words for health and wine, and it means that happy feeling after the first glass. That is what this bottle is for. It is made the traditional way from a grape almost nobody outside Albania knows, and it tastes crisp, dry, and a little salty.
