🗺️ Kosovo wine

Kosovo wine means the wine and winemaking of Kosovo, a small country in the Balkans. The climate is continental, with warm summers and cold winters, and fertile valleys lie by the mountains. Grapes have been grown for a long time, and viticulture remains an important part of agriculture.

The main wine regions are Dukagjini in the west and the Kosovo plain. Dukagjini is also called Metohija. The best known wine centre there is the town of Rahovec, where large wineries are located. Both international and Balkan varieties are grown. Wines are made red, white and rosé, most often dry.

Part of the wine goes to the home market and to neighbouring countries. Kosovo wine belongs to the wines of Europe, although it holds a small place there. For lovers of the Balkans it is a chance to get to know a little-known area. Information on varieties and designations is scarce and changes, so it is best to check labels and producers.
