This sounds just like what the doctor had ordered. After all, I suffer from the same problem with Italian reds (albeit on a much more limited scale than you have). Maybe we should make this a 2011 new year's resolution - find good Italian red for a reasonable price? Obviously, if you spend over a hundred quid for a Gaja you would expect something extraordinary, but around 10 Euro or so? Anyway, maybe a mission for next year...
a good dose of funkiness
