The country's problem is largely due to the horse-trading, politics and rivalries that prevent regions from working together to really set out their stall and engage wine fans with their wares. But if you can get beyond that, there are some truly special unique and curious wines being produced in the south-west from grapes most of us have never heard of.
Négrette is a great example, with a cherry tang that would appeal to lovers of northern Italian reds such as Barbera and Dolcetto. To find these wines you sometimes have to go o ff the beaten track or scour restaurant lists for the hidden gems.
