Since 1870
Our Story
Our history dates back to the remarkable year of 1870 when our pioneering ancestors embarked on a daring quest in search of fertile land and new opportunities. Leaving behind the Zatrijebac/Triesh Mount – Tribe, they journeyed to the plains where the Cijevna/Cem River flowed, a land known as “zetë” in Albanian, meaning hot. Predominantly involved in livestock and medicinal herbs, their journey took an unexpected turn when they discovered the allure of the “land of wine,” as referred to by the ancient Latins. Settling on the limestone-rich plains, they purchased a property on the river’s right bank, establishing the small village House of Rakic between Tuzi and Podgorica. Proximity to the city not only facilitated trade and catering but also fueled their passion for winemaking. Over the years, their dedication led to the expansion of vineyards and the birth of a modern winery, deeply rooted in the wisdom of tradition. Today, we stand proud as guardians of this remarkable history, preserving the ancient recipes and secrets, nurturing the same vineyards planted over 150 years ago, and continuing the legacy of crafting top-quality wine and brandy.
