Good Red Italian Wines

[Garbo]

Lucky you! Foodie is right -- enjoy your time, taste everything and bring back some of what you like. We found a very friendly and inexpensive wine bar/shop on the Campo dei Fiore that has an extensive selection of wines by the glass; I think it's called the Vineria but I'm not sure. Plus, it's a fun area to hang out in at night. Also, you might try finding an English language bookshop -- we found a great guide to Italian wine that was helpful in showing which years were best for which varieties.
