Defining the News

Rising temperatures, hail, and disease have taken their toll on the unique local grapes that make the region’s delicate red wines and floral rakis which are traditionally distilled by the women rather than the men.

In the nearby Bukmira area Liza Ndoji tends just a single hectare of vines, producing a small amount of the prized ruby-coloured wine a year.“Nothing has ever been easy, but this year has been the worst,” Ndoji, 70, told AFP. Albania has some 11,000 hectares of vineyards, producing 190,000 to 195,000 tonnes of wine a year, according to official figures.

This year, he has focused his attention on vineyards that are around 600 metres above sea level, dotted with steel stakes that are more resistant to corrosion and able to withstand the humidity of the soil.
