The red grape variety originates from Georgia. Synonyms are Abkazouri, Abkhazouri, Kachich, Kachichizh, Kachici, Kadzhidzh, Kagigi, Katchitchige, Katchitchij, Katcitci, Kattchitchi and Kattcitchi. The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. The first mention was in the 19th century. The vine, which ripens very late, is susceptible to powdery mildew. It produces dark-coloured red wines. The variety is cultivated in small quantities in the northwest of Georgia and in the neighbouring autonomous region of Abkhazia. It is also used as table grape. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
