Ribusieri incorportates innovative farming techniques into its production, integrating their own distinctive environmentally sustainable methods into the making of Sangiovese and Vermentino. The estate is located in the village of Montecucco, where the winemaking tradition has ancient roots.
Although its viticultural roots date back to the 8th Century, Montecucco only received its DOC in 1998. At that time there were only 10 registered producers, today there are 80.
Cinigiano where Ribusieri is located is in the heart of the Moncucco. The soil is arid, with a mix of sandstone and clay. The estate is nestled 180 meters above sea level on the southwest foothills of the ancient volcano, Mount Amiato in the Valley of the Orcia river. On the right bank of the Orcia lies its more famous cousin, Montalcino and on the no lesser left bank lies Ribusieri.

Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Deep garnet in color with an aromatic medley of black cherry, marionberry, ripe plum and a hint of anise. Dark fruit on the palate with flavors of wild berries, caramelized oak and cacao nibs complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, cedar and a hint of lavender and forest floor. Rich and unrestrained, this wine’s abundant fruit is beautifully balanced by firm acidity and layers of red and black fruit.
Review:
This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas. The palate is hefty and heavy, carrying ripe berry but also tart red-plum-skin flavors, as licorice adds spice
