Tirana

Tirana's winegrowing area lies in Albania's Durrës-Tirana coastal plain and extends west to Shesh village near Ndroq. Two local grapes share the Shesh name: white Shesh i Bardhë and red Shesh i Zi. The white wines can have apple, lemon and herbal notes; the reds are usually medium-bodied with soft tannin.
