Italian Wines to try

[Puccino]

Thanks Innkeeper and Foodie!

My wife and I returned yesterday from an absolutely splendid trip to Italy (with a couple days in Croatia and Bosnia as well) and we were able to try many of the wines you recommended.
I came back with only ten bottles as I have not much room for storage (not to mention the expense of many of the wines! Now I understand the comment "if you have the scratch"!).
Indeed, our favorite was found in the charming town of Montalcino, where we tasted and purchased some wonderful Brunello. We spent several days in Tuscany, and I was continually impressed by the Brunello and unimpressed by the Chianti.
In Piedmont, which was lovely with its rolling hills and vineyards, we fell in love with the Barolo! Again, very expensive but super.
Bought some wine from Croatia, but haven't tried any from there yet.
Again, thanks for your suggestions and comments.
Ciao,
Puccino
