You are drinking some very different Italian wines than most. I find, if anything, them to be acidic and rustic and nothing like the sugar bombs of some Napa reds. Granted some of the Super Tuscans are overly alcoholic but those arent traditional Italian varietals.

That's spot on for traditional Italians, but much like Spain and outer lying areas of France, a more modern approach is being taken by some producers for riper styles. Classically they are very much acidic, rustic, and driven by their terroir....I'm curious as to what he is drinking though to assume they are syrupy. I've had some Brunello recently clicking at 15% and of course amarone is intentionally that way, Tuscans are a mixed bag depending on producers.
