This wine tastes so good, however I could not find it in Europe. I live in the Netherlands (and Italy). Does anyone know which other wines I can find in Europe would taste similar to Khvanchkara?
Amarone and Valpoliccella Ripasso from Italy are your safest bet. Any wine that’s made with dried grapes (appassimento) will hold some sweetness without moving into the category of dessert wine or fortified (port). These wines should be readily available through the world and may other countries are producing appassimento styles, one I am familiar with is Mayu Carmenere Appassiment from Chile which is fantastic!
You should be able to find any of these styles in most supermarkets or wine retailers. Unfamiliar with the Netherlands but it shouldn’t be too hard to find them and if you are spending time in Italy it’s hard to imagine you haven’t came across Amarone before?
