Good choice, mate. VR should be rather dark in colour and full of fresh berry fruits! If you like that, also look out for Primitivo or Passimento/Appassimento (especially from the Puglia region of Italy), which have a similar rounded style, but with a bit more 'weight'

Primitivo, Negroamaro and Nero D'Avola would all be good red grape varieties for you.
