Simply put, I like red wine and would like to try a really good one (well, within my budget). So I have £50, and prefer full bodied, fruity wines. Recommendations please...

My favourite is Vino Noble Di Multipucianno not to be confused with the cheaper Brunello or D'abbruzzo Du Multipucianno

You should get a bottle and some change from £50 but not a lot.
Eh? I presume there are many different types?

If you can let me know where you can find Brunello di Montalcino cheaper than Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, I'd be eternally grateful.My favourite is Vino Noble Di Multipucianno not to be confused with the cheaper Brunello or D'abbruzzo Du Multipucianno

My recommendation for a really good Brunello at under £50 would be a bottle of 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from the Poggio al Vento vineyard. You can buy a single bottle online here:-

And order the Riserva, which has been matured longer, before bottling.
Here's a review (and the reviewer scores it 95+ (out of 100):-
The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento is developing beautifully. This is a decidedly feminine, graceful style of Poggio al Vento. The wine literally floats on the palate with gracious layers of fruit. Silky tannins support sweet red berries, flowers and spices on the mouthwatering finish. The 2004 is flat-out beautiful. This was a relatively generous harvest, and that comes through in the wine’s medium-bodied structure. Drinking window: 2014-2044.
