Wine and raki from our own grapes since 1994.

Our story

Planted by Xha Beqo

Beqir Fiska, known to everyone as Xha Beqo, studied at the Agricultural University of Tirana in the 1970s. When the family received its land in Roshnik, he planted all of it with vines. Our red wine carries his name. On its label, the house, the vineyard and Tomorri fill the silhouette of a man in a hat.

We began with 3.4 hectaresat the foot of Tomorri, and now

Pulëz

The Gold of Roshnik

Pulëz is a rare grape of these hills. For generations it grew wild, climbing as a pergola around the trees by village homes. Roshnik was the first place to plant it in a vineyard, and a'Roshniku is made from those vineyard grapes.
