Prime Minister Edi Rama stated in a social media post that the “Caco” winery, located in Grabovica, Pogradec, is an enterprise focused on wine production and processing, combining tradition with technological investments and modern equipment.

Rama noted that, “Through the 2025 National Investment Scheme, the Agricultural and Rural Development Agency has supported the Caco Winery with funding for its processing line, providing a new opportunity for the development and expansion of its operations.

Ersol Caco, a member of the family managing the winery, explains that the venture began with the need to process grapes grown on a small vineyard plot, eventually evolving into both a passion and a family business.

“Our focus has always been quality. The Agricultural and Rural Development Agency joined us on this journey, supporting us with machinery and technology to ensure the highest possible quality and consistent standards,” said Caco.

According to him, the support for equipment and technology is accompanied by new projects to expand operations. Currently, the winery is working on producing sparkling wine—a product that requires different machinery and technological processes compared to those used for still wine.

The “Caco” winery received support through Agricultural and Rural Development Agency’s 2025 National Investment Scheme, securing funding for the processing line; investments also covered labeling equipment and other processes essential to wine production.

These investments aim to streamline workflows and raise production standards, enabling the business to expand its operations and develop new products.
