Best Practices

• •Emphasize Heritage and History: Consistently weave in the winery's founding year (1953), the Gecaj family's role since 2006, and the ancient winemaking tradition of the Rahovec Valley.
• •Highlight Quality Cues: Regularly mention key quality indicators such as handpicked grapes, aging in oak barrels, the combination of traditional and modern techniques, and any awards or accolades received.
• •Use Evocative and Passionate Language: Employ words that convey craftsmanship, dedication, pride, and the unique character of the wines and the region (e.g., "heart of," "legacy," "passionately crafted," "exceptional terroir," "hidden gem").
• •Tell the Story: Go beyond just describing the wines. Share the narrative of the Gecaj family, the revitalization of Kosovan winemaking, and what makes the region special. This builds an emotional connection.
• •Maintain Visual-Textual Harmony: Ensure that the imagery used alongside the copy (on the website, social media, ads) reflects the same values of tradition, quality, and the natural beauty of the vineyards and Kosovo.

Social Perception

Positive Recognition for Quality, Intrigue and Discovery, Respect for Heritage and Story, Good Value, Symbol of Kosovan Pride
