Frescobaldi’s Nipozzano Vecchi Viti is a fine Riserva that shows rich wood tones that are still integrating into the rich cherry fruit. Notes of sage and earth lurk in the background, and typical racy acidity forms an ageworthy structure. I would start in on this in 2025 and enjoy across another ten years.
