Overview
Tradition of wine production in Montenegro is nurtured for centuries. For centuries, wine was part of Montenegrin faith, culture and customs, so not so rarely Montenegro is called “the land of wine”.
In the mid-19th century, the Montenegrin King Nikola Petrović saw the enormous possibilities of this region and the power of local wine … and brought the regulation: “Every soldier from the place where the vine grows must plant two hundred grapevines!” As for Montenegrin wine, a new era began, and Montenegrin Vranac won the first prize in 1907 at a wine exhibition in London.
Nowadays, Montenegro has about 4,300 hectares of vineyards, of which the most important project is “Ćemovsko field” near the capital of Podgorica, whereby Montenegro has acquired the largest vineyard with modern wineries.
